You need to set the app's locale to the choosen language, e.g.: \App::setLocale($language);

In our applications all urls are prefixed with the language, for instance: /en/user/list And a custom middleware just sets the locale on every request using the first URL segment.

Thanks for the reply. Please break it down for me because I'm not a Laravel or PHP expert.

I want to have two idioms: EN and PT.

Have set the middleware in App/Html/MiddlewareApp.php:

<?php namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;

class App {

/**
 * Handle an incoming request.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  \Closure  $next
 * @return mixed
 */
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
	if(!\Session::has('locale'))
    {
       \Session::put('locale', \Config::get('app.locale'));
    }

    app()->setLocale(\Session::get('locale'));

    return $next($request);
}

}

In kernel.php:

 'App\Http\Middleware\App',

LanguageController.php:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Requests;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; use Auth; use Session; use Input; use Redirect; use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class LanguageController extends Controller {

public function index()
{
	Session::set('locale', Input::get('locale'));
	return Redirect::back();
}

}

Routes.php:

Route::post('/language', array(

'before' => 'csrf',
'as'	=>	'language-choose',
'uses'	=>	'LanguageController@choose'

));

In Config/App.php I have:

'locale' => 'en',

Do I need to add 'pt' ?

Thank you.

Yes, have worked on that package since yesterday. It's not fully working but I'm getting there.
