Laravel how to translate the name of an input field

Question

In my laravel-application I have some input fields like this:

<input name="phone" type="tel" pattern="^[0-9-+s()]*$" class="form-control" placeholder="Telefonnr." required>

<input name="subject" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Thema" required>

...and so on

and in my Controller I have this:

$validator = Validator::make(request()->all(), [
   'email' => ['required', 'email'],
   'name' => ['required', 'string'],
   'phone' => ['string'],
   'subject' => ['required', 'string'],
   'message' => ['required', 'string'],
   'conditions' => ['accepted', 'boolean'],
]);

So far so good, but now I want to customize the error messages. Right now, the error messages are like:

"subject muss ausgefüllt sein"

or

"phone muss angegeben sein"

So, how can I change it to:

"Thema muss ausgefüllt sein"

or

"Telefonnummer muss angegeben sein"

You can set custom message in third param of make ..

$validator = Validator::make(
   request()->all(), // data
   [  //rules
   'email' => ['required', 'email'],
   'name' => ['required', 'string'],
   'phone' => ['string'],
   'subject' => ['required', 'string'],
   'message' => ['required', 'string'],
   'conditions' => ['accepted', 'boolean'],
  ],
  [ //messages
  'subject.required' => 'Thema muss ausgefüllt sein'
]);

What is the case when multiple languages must be included? – ST80 Jul 29 '19 at 08:37
`$enMessages = []; $duMessages = []` ... Based on the lang, use that arr maybe? @ST80 – Jaquarh Jul 29 '19 at 08:41
@ST80 It is so easy look [official doc](https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/localization) – hs-dev2 MR Jul 29 '19 at 08:45

        $messages = [
                'subject.required' => 'Telefonnummer muss angegeben sein',
 'subject.string' => 'YOUR CUSTOM MESSAGE',

            ];


        $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
            'email' => ['required', 'email'],
   'name' => ['required', 'string'],
   'phone' => ['string'],
   'subject' => ['required', 'string'],
   'message' => ['required', 'string'],
   'conditions' => ['accepted', 'boolean'],
        ], $messages);
