Global Areas for each language section

This is the my solution to generate Global Areas for each language section, for 5.7.
Create application/src/Area/GlobalArea.php as below
<?php
namespace Application\Src\Area;
use Concrete\Core\Area\GlobalArea as CoreGlobalArea;
use Concrete\Core\Multilingual\Page\Section\Section as MultilingualSection;
use Localization;
use Punic\Language;
use Punic\Data;
class GlobalArea extends CoreGlobalArea
{
public function __construct($arHandle)
{
$ms = MultilingualSection::getCurrentSection();
if (is_object($ms)) {
$locale = $ms->getLocale();
} else {
$locale = Localization::activeLocale();
}
$fallbackLocale = Data::getFallbackLocale();
if ($locale != $fallbackLocale) {
$locName = Language::getName($locale, $fallbackLocale);
$arHandle = $arHandle . ' ' . $locName;
}
$this->arHandle = $arHandle;
}
}
Then modify your application/config/app.php
<?php
return array(
'aliases' => array(
'GlobalArea' => 'Application\Src\Area\GlobalArea'
)
);
