[Proposal] Translate rendered email views

[amadeann]

#23178 added the ability to change locale in sent/queued Mailables. This functionality is currently missing for rendered views. I am referring to the functionality described here in the documentation.

The easiest implementation that I could think of would be duplicating the functionality of 'hot translation' implemented in the send method of Mailable.

For testing translated mailable views in the browser, is there much difference between:

Route::get('mail-order', function () {
    app()->setLocale('fr');

    return new \App\Mail\OrderConfirmation(
        new App\Order::latest()->first()
    );
});

And adding that support in Mailable like so:

Route::get('mail-order', function () {
    return (new \App\Mail\OrderConfirmation(
        new App\Order::latest()->first()
    ))->locale('fr');
});

Or are you rendering mailables in production?

[amadeann]

Rendering in production - I want customer support to preview the auto-generated mailable before sending them to customers. The translation is determined by who the translated mailable is sent to (end customer), not by the person previewing it - therefore it makes more sense to set the language directly in the mailable, and not the route/controller.
