Dynamic languages using spatie's package

I am saving a list of languages per entry in my articles table, so for example, $article->languages can be ['es','de'] and sometimes it can be ['fr','nl'].. etc. Now, i worked with spatie/laravel-translatable in the past with no problem at all, when getTranslatableLocales() has a fixed set of languages, but when trying to populate the locale switcher dynamically by $article->languages - it fallbacks to the default config once language is changed. Here's how im trying to implement it at the moment on ArticleResource.php -

public static function getTranslatableLocales(): array
    {
        $recordId = request()->route('record');
        $defaultLanguages = config('languages');
        if ($recordId) {
            $article = Article::find($recordId);
            if ($article && !empty($article->languages)) {
                return $article->languages;
            }
        }
        return $defaultLanguages;
    }

public static function getTranslatableLocales(): array
    {
        $recordId = request()->route('record');
        $defaultLanguages = config('languages');
        if ($recordId) {
            $article = Article::find($recordId);
            if ($article && !empty($article->languages)) {
                return $article->languages;
            }
        }
        return $defaultLanguages;
    }

I noticed that once i change the language in the locale switcher (a simple Actions\LocaleSwitcher::make() on getHeaderActions()) - the $recordId is emptied, hence it retrieves the $defaultLnaguages instead. I guess there's a more way to access the current record instead of request()->route('record')

* On the initial load - it populates the dynamic languages correctly. The problem is only happening once i select a different language. i was able to patch it like this -

if($request->input('components.0.snapshot') !== null)
            $recordId = json_decode($request->input('components.0.snapshot'))->data->data[0]->id;
        else
            $recordId = request()->route('record');

if($request->input('components.0.snapshot') !== null)
            $recordId = json_decode($request->input('components.0.snapshot'))->data->data[0]->id;
        else
            $recordId = request()->route('record');

not very elegant, but it works..
