Laravel already uses these messages as the default ones.
What are you trying to do exactly ?

Default Error messages
I already know about the validation.php that holds all the default error messages for form inputs. But I also noticed there are other files with validation.php; auth.php, pagination.php, and passwords.php. How can I make Laravel use these messages as defaults?

I'm manually authenticating users. In the docs, it shows that you can pass a custom message to the error bag but I want to use the default messages Laravel provides. Should I just explicitly call __('auth.failed') or is there a way to do this automatically?

@chron Those other files are there because they hold a purpose. They’re not there just to be used “because”. For example, the auth.php file holds messages for Laravel’s authentication component, and the passwords.php file holds messages for Laravel’s password reset component.

Hi there,
There is another way of localization -> you can find in detail information here: https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/localization
Basically, you can edit those default files, but I would advise against editing the default files unless your app trully needs (the localization parts).
Best regards
