Sites.php

'sites' => [

        'en' => [
            'name' => 'MIQ - English',
            'locale' => 'en_EN',
            'url' => '/',
        ],
        'nl' => [
            'name' => 'MIQ - Nederlands',
            'locale' => 'nl_NL',
            'url' => '/nl/',
        ],
        'fr' => [
            'name' => 'MIQ - Frans',
            'locale' => 'fr_FR',
            'url' => '/fr/',
        ],

    ],

Tried various combinations, including removing "en" site, or using "nl" and "fr" as value to locale key.

validation.php in

/resources/lang/en
/resources/lang/fr
/resources/lang/nl

The same folders I use when using the {{ trans }} tag

Small correction: the validation errors are shown in het locale as set in config/app.php

Not sure about this yet, but it seems the Dutch translations are out of date. Maybe this is why you don't see the correct error language. Related or not, I'll see if I can update those a.s.a.p.

[cgrisar]

It's not that, Rob

[robdekort]

Good to know. I hope this issue can get bumped up then.

[robdekort]

I can confirm this issue and just set up a demo project for core team to check this out. There's a contact form on the homepage. The homepage is in Dutch and if you send the form without any values you'll get back English error messages.

[robdekort]

Is there any workaround known for this?

[jasonvarga]

Fixed for next release.

Make sure that you have the appropriate validation translation file in your resources/lang/{lang} directory.

For example, here's the French one: https://github.com/Laravel-Lang/lang/blob/master/src/fr/validation.php
That repo contains translations for a ton of languages.

Thanks Jason

Can anyone explain to me how it localised field validation should work? It kinda confuses me.

With the current Dutch validation.php in the repo I get a 'This field is required', but then nicely in Dutch. Fine by me, but not how it should be I guess.

If I replace the Dutch validation.php file with the one from the repo Jason mentioned, I get a 'ENGLISH FIELD NAME is verplicht' (part english, part dutch). It's nothing major but I'd like to understand :-)

Check the /nl/validation.php file
