{locale} placeholder in routes

One important difference is that your locale have to be placed always on the first place of URL. 

This wont work for you:

PHP Code:

$routes->group('translations', function ($routes) {
  $routes->group('{locale}', function ($routes) {
      $routes->get('/', 'Translations::index');
  });
}); 


You're right, I didn't think it could be a problem as all my routes are configured with the locale as the first segment of the URL.

Why did you remove second part of locale? This is used in most cases for variants of language e.g. "en-US". I consider this language fallback behaviour as useful

So, if you are using the locale fr-CA, then a localized message will first be sought in Language/fr/CA, then in Language/fr, and finally in Language/en.

I remove the second part of the locale because it doesn't really make a difference. At least not in my case. My blog is in French and in English. So if the locale detected is en-US, en-UK or any other en-xx it redirects to the English version of the blog. Same thing for fr-FR, fr-CA, etc, it goes to the French version. Anything else goes to the default locale, with is English.
