Laravel Target Class [Translator] Does Not Exist.

Error Message: Target class [translator] does not exist.

Explanation:

This error message typically occurs in Laravel when you are trying to use the Translator class or the __() helper function to translate strings, but Laravel cannot find the Translator class.

The Translator class is part of Laravel’s localization system, which allows you to easily manage multilingual translations in your application.

There can be several reasons why you might encounter this error:

1. You have not included the Laravel Translation service provider in your config/app.php file. Make sure the following line is present in the providers array:

'providers' => [
    // Other providers...
    Illuminate\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider::class,
],

2. You might have accidentally deleted or modified the Translator class or its references. Double-check your code and make sure you have not made any changes that could cause this class to be missing.

Example:

// Assuming you have included the TranslationServiceProvider in 'config/app.php'

// Using the Translator class directly
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Lang;

$translation = Lang::get('messages.welcome');

// Using the __() helper function (shorthand for Lang::get())
$translation = __('messages.welcome');
