           	...
            Localization::class,
        ],

5. In LocalizationController.php
   public function lang_change($locale){
        Session::put("locale",$locale);
        return redirect()->back();
    }

->  public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
    {
        if(Session::has("locale"))
            App::setLocale(Session::get("locale"));
        else
            App::setLocale(config("app.locale"));
        return $next($request);    }
