Namespacing translations in Laravel with the same namespace (kinda prefix)

tl:dr:

Can two or more packages share the same namespace name? (in the following example package_lang)

FooPackage (ServiceProvider.php)

$this->loadTranslationsFrom(__DIR__.'/../../resources/lang', 'package_lang');

BarPackage (ServiceProvider.php)

$this->loadTranslationsFrom(__DIR__.'/../../resources/lang', 'package_lang');

BazPackage (ServiceProvider.php)

$this->loadTranslationsFrom(__DIR__.'/../../resources/lang', 'package_lang');

Instead of using a unique namespaces, like: foo_lang, bar_lang, baz_lang.

Btw, it works on the loadTranslationsFrom() method with the same namespace (like above, just resources/views directory), but not with loadTranslationsFrom().

Appreciate a little description why or why not?!

--- Detailed following below ---

In the ServiceProvider (of my packages) I always do $this->loadTranslationsFrom(__DIR__.'/../../resources/lang', 'package_lang'); which literally resolves in foo_lang::, which is cool, because translations can be called like this package_lang::something.promoto

My custom packages does always follow the same structure. (ommited directories which aren't neccessary)

Package Foo

/resources
- /lang
  - /en
    - /foo
      - /something.php
  - /es
    - /foo
      - /something.php
- /views
/src
- PackageServiceProvider.php

Package Bar

/resources
- /lang
  - /en
    - /bar
      - /something.php
  - /es
    - /bar
      - /something.php
- /views
/src
- PackageServiceProvider.php

Package Baz

/resources
- /lang
  - /en
    - /baz
      - /something.php
  - /es
    - /baz
      - /something.php
- /views
/src
- PackageServiceProvider.php

It would be cool, if I can call my translation, which are from the same package-family (package_lang), with the namespace package_lang::foo.something.promote or package_lang::bar.something.promote

Did you find any way to make this work?

I managed to do this with Laravel 10.

app("translator")->addNamespace(
	namespace: "my_namespace",
	hint: "path/to/my/new/lang/directory/lang_file.php"
);

__("my_namespace::lang_file.message");
