I am making a bilingual app. I am using same routes for each but I am using different views for both languages. Whenever I want to redirect to a route I want to pass {{ route('test.route', 'en') }}. Where I am passing en, I want to fetch the current locale value from the view and then pass it to the route. Please help.

try this. It will give the locale set in your application

Config::get('app.locale')

Edit:

To use this in blade, use like the following, to echo your current locale in blade.

{{ Config::get('app.locale') }}

If you want to do a if condition in blade around it, it will become,

   @if ( Config::get('app.locale') == 'en')

   {{ 'Current Language is English' }}

   @elseif ( Config::get('app.locale') == 'ru' )

   {{ 'Current Language is Russian' }}

   @endif

To get current locale,

app()->getLocale()
