php - What is the most effective way to translate string names from database in Laravel -

i building small social network language select. problem i'm clueless have user groups saved in database.

id  name     1   model    2   photographer  3   makeup artist 

i select these , place in signup form

<div class="form-group">             {{ form::label('group', lang::get('auth.group'), array("class" => "col-lg-3 control-label ")) }}             <div class="col-lg-8">              <select class="col-lg-12" name="group_id[]" id="" multiple size="6" >                 @foreach($groups $group)                     <option value="{{ $group->id }}">{{ $group->name }}</option>                 @endforeach              </select>             </div>         </div> 

but i'm totally clueless how translate these, using laravel's localization.

could please give me hint this?

if want localize string come database, have store keys database tables. in views translate in laravel.

a database table have following structure (note apart name store key):

------------------------------------------- | id | name          | namekey            | =========================================== | 1  | model         | group.model        | | 2  | photographer  | group.photographer | | 3  | makeup artist | group.makeupartist | ------------------------------------------- 

the name not me mandatory, useful when key not understandable.

then view, instead of rendering name render key localized:

<option value="{{ $group->id }}">{{ lang::get($group->namekey) }} 

another suggestions using name key, problematic when 2 words same has different meaning in language, in language written differently.
