One of my Filament plugins that flies a bit under the radar is the AutoTranslator 👀

IF you are doing anything with translations, it provides so much value as it saves so much boilerplate code 👌

Communicating the value is really hard, but perhaps the below review helps :) 👇

Interesting PHP thing I learned recently: what if you want to trigger a ‎continue in *multiple* foreaches?

I first tried `‎continue; continue;` which (obviously) didn’t work—then learned you can pass a number as `‎{level}`, telling PHP how many loops to continue.

Very cool to know!
