Laravel routes and locales made simple (@barryvdh solution)

routes.php

$languages = array('nl','fr');
$locale = Request::segment(1);

if(in_array($locale, $languages))
{
		\App::setLocale($locale);
}
else
{
		$locale = null;
}

Route::group(array('prefix' => $locale), function()
{
  	Route::get('/', array('as' => 'home', function(){ //Do something  }));
  	Route::get('news', array('as' => 'news', 'uses' => 'NewsController@showIndex'));
  	Route::get('{slug}', 'PageController@showPage');
});
