I'm newbie in **laravel 4.0**.

- How to get the whole array from `lang/en/texts.php`?
- Is there a `Lang::getAll()` method?

My goal is to generate keywords/description in my base controller, to fill them into the the meta tags and other places in the DOM in the master blade template. If my approach is completely wrong, please tell me!

Generating the keywords and description from an associative array is NOT the problem, but the lack of knowledge about the framework. And, I was googling for quite a time before ending up here...

Working with blade templates:
This is my BaseController:

class HomeController extends BaseController {

protected $layout = 'layouts.master';
private $keyWords = array();

private function getKeyWords () {
// ???

}

public function getIndex() {
return View::make('home')
->with('errorcanvas', trans('texts.canvas'))
->with('errortextwebgl', trans('texts.webgl'))
...;
}

...

}

----------

I found something in the [API][1]:

`Illuminate\Translation\FileLoader load()` which loads the messages with a given `locale`
...

Here's how yo can load them:

Route::get('test', function()
{
$a = File::getRequire(base_path().'/app/lang/en/pagination.php');

foreach($a as $key => $value)
{
echo "$key => $value<br>";
}
});

If you need to load them all, you can use:

$languages = File::directories(base_path().'/app/lang/');

I had to find a way to create an language import command in my Glottos package:

Antonio answered loading of language file perfectly, but I don't like your approach.
It can be done much easier. Why not to do it this way?

// view file
<html>
<head>
<meta name="description" content="{{ trans('texts.description') }}">
...
</head>
...
</html>

You do not need to send all the content thru controller, which makes your controller clean.

Lets say, a language file: lang/en/countries.php

return [
'afg' => 'Afghanistan',
'ala' => 'Aland',
'alb' => 'Albania',
'dza' => 'Algeria',
'asm' => 'American Samoa'
];

Retrieving lines from the language file with **Lang::get()** method

$array = Lang::get('countries'); // return entire array
$text = Lang::get('countries.afg'); // return single item

for **Laravel 5.0** & above, You may also use the **trans** helper function, which is an alias for the **Lang::get()** method.

$array = trans('countries'); // return entire array
$text = trans('countries.afg'); // return single item

You can [get the entire array][1] with `Lang::get()`.

$array = Lang::get('pagination'); // return entire array
$text = Lang::get('pagination.next'); // return single item

you can actually use the helper function `__('lang_file')` as well.
