Laravel Language prefix with additional parameters

Question

Quick question that is already killing me for days. With Laravel I am trying to use different languages.

English and Japanese

This works in the route like this.

Route::group([
    'prefix' => '{lang}',
    'where' => ['lang' => '(jp|en)'],
    'middleware' => 'Language'
], function() {
    Route::get('/blogs', 'BlogController@index')->name('main-blog');
    Route::get('/blog/{postId}/{postTitle}', 'BlogController@post'); 
});

This works when I am visiting the "/blogs" page. It changes between languages.

Now when I visit the "/blog/{postId}/{postTitle}" page I can't access the posted parameter anymore within my controller.

Somehow it only shows the "lang" parameter. What would be the right way to access a parameter when using a prefix.

When I don't use the prefix it works like a charm.

My Controller;

public function post($blog_id, $blog_title) 
{
    // Do something
}

Help is highly appreciated. I have been banging my head with this for days now.

Something doesn't add up here. The route you're having trouble with is pointing to post() method, but your controller doesn't seem to implement one from the code you posted. — DevK

Indeed I made a mistake with writing the example. Have updated it. — Wesley Schravendijk

You use the prefix parameter to specify common parameters for your grouped routes. So You need one more parameter $lang for this controller:

public function post($lang, $blog_id, $blog_title) 
{
    // Do something
}

With prefix parameter the routes look like these:

/{lang}/blogs
/{lang}/blog/{postId}/{postTitle}

Indeed! I should smack myself in the face. The answer was so easy, I just made a dumb mistake. Maybe better to take some off next time after hours of scripting. You are my hero! Thanks
