Add trait to your model which need to translate and setup your default language for your model

    class Category extends Model
    {
        use Translate;
        protected $defaultLocale = 'en';
    }

Usage

You can create entity with translate as usually:

        Category::create([
            'name' => 'name',
            'ru' => [
                'name' => 'название'
            ],
            'fr' => [
                'name' => 'fr name'
            ]
        ]);

For access the translate value you can use next variant:

Determine when calling

    $category->translate('fr')->name

Use your app locale

    App()->setLocale('fr')
    $category->name

Get all translations attributes for current model

$category->getTranslations('fr')

Bonuses

You can use relations for eager loader your model

    App()->setLocale('fr');
    $item = Item::with('category', 'category.rTranslate')->first();
    $item->category->name;

To array with relation

    App()->setLocale('fr');
    $item = Item::with('category', 'category.rTranslate')->first();
    $item->toArray();
    Result = [
        'id' =>1,
        'item_name' => 'name',
        'category' => [
            'name' => 'fr name'
        ]
    ];

If you want to override function toArray() use translateToArray() in your model

    public function toArray()
    {
        $array = $this->translateToArray(); //parent::toArray()

        // Your code here

        return $array;
    }
