Laravel: Sending Mail with Queue ignores Locale

My Email template looks like this:

@component('mail::message')
# {{ $helloUser }}

@lang('welcome.message')


This

App::setLocale('de);

$activeMail = new AppMailRegisterActivate($user);

Mail::to($user)->send($activeMail);


will send an mail with German text.

However, when I use a queue

App::setLocale('de);

$activeMail = new AppMailRegisterActivate($user);

Mail::to($user)->queue($activeMail);


The mail is send in English, which is the default language of my app.
How can I send a message in German with the queue without changing the default language?

In Laravel 5.6. the Mailable class has gotten a locale method to care for this:

Mailable

locale

$activeMail = new AppMailRegisterActivate($user)->locale('tr');

Mail::to($user)->queue($activeMail);


For Laravel < 5.6 you have to save the text in the mail objecte

class Activate extends Mailable
{

public $mainText

public function __construct()
{
$this->mainText = __('welcome.message');
}
}


and change the template to

@component('mail::message')
# {{ $helloUser }}

{{$mainText}}


You have to set the locale in the Job because it is executed on another process and it does not have any session variables or data from the process that sent it to the queue. You can do something like this if you save the locale in the User model:

class Activate extends Mailable implements ShouldQueue
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;

protected $user;

public function __construct(User $user)
{
$this->user = $user;
}

public function build()
{
App::setLocale($this->user->getAttribute('locale')); // locale = 'de'

return $this->subject('Activate your account')->view('emails.activate', [
'user' => $this->user
]);
}
}


The locale is actually saved in the user. But how do you pass the locale to the job?

I have added an example to my original answer. This way you can set other user settings or variables that affect the content of the email. Answer by 'Adam' only changes translator locale. It depends of your needs.
