'ReflectionException' Class translator does not exists

Question

I'm trying to use localization as follow,

$types = trans('constants.type');

I have created constants.php file as follows (which is in config directory) and this are it's language files,

/resources
    /lang
        /en
            constants.php
        /es
            constants.php

constants.php

return ['type' => 'Type'];

same way it translated in other file with same format, but this things gives me following error

Note: I have used this in config directory's file,

(1/1) ReflectionException Class translator does not exist

in Container.php (line 729) at ReflectionClass->__construct('translator') in Container.php (line 729) at Container->build('translator') in Container.php (line 608) at Container->resolve('translator') in Container.php (line 575) at Container->make('translator')

Problem:

trans() method not working in constants.php file which i have created in config directory as follow,

/config constants.php

Did you modify config/app.php providers array at all? – Blower

Nope i haven't modify it at all – Sergeant

Answer 1

You can't use trans() in any config files, because they are loaded before the translation service is registered (which is why you are getting Class translator does not exist).

Answer 2

If the other answer did not work it means:

You most probably deleted

Illuminate\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider::class, in your config/app.php file.
