### Translation
2016-10-10 10:57:39 +02:00
2016-11-28 12:46:49 +01:00
All titles are in english by default. You can change your language by setting `TRANSLATION` in `backend/.env` . The most commons are `DE` , `IT` , `FR` , `ES` and `RU` . You can try to use your language code.
2016-11-23 21:16:41 +01:00
This will also affect the language of you website. See in `client/resources/languages` if your language is supported. Pull requests are welcome :)
If there isn't a translation for your language, english will be used.
2016-10-10 10:57:39 +02:00
### Better Search
You can use [Laravel Scout ](https://laravel.com/docs/master/scout ) for better search results with typos. Something like `findg nemo` .
Add your driver and API-Keys in `backend/.env` and uncomment `use Searchable;` in `backend/app/Item.php` on line 11.
2016-11-28 12:46:49 +01:00
To sync your own list with your Laravel Scout driver, run `php artisan flox:sync` (If you using Laravel Scout later).

[Algolia ](https://www.algolia.com/ ) is a great service and has a free hacker plan.
