Answer 1

Changing locale at the runtime varying depends on the framework. You can use facade or helper function:

For Lumen:

Lang::setLocale('lang');

or

app('translator')->setLocale('lang');

For Laravel:

App::setLocale('lang');

or

app()->setLocale('lang');

Answer 2

You are changing the config after it is loaded, which has no effect. To change the locale at runtime use the setLocale() method on the app instance:

app()->setLocale($request->input('lang'));

Edit

The first answer seem to only work on Laravel. To change the locale at runtime with Lumen use this:

app('translator')->setLocale($request->input('lang'));
