How to customize validation messages in Laravel?

I searched a lot before asking this question but found nothing to help me. I started using Laravel as a PHP framework. As I started to do form validation, I used the Validator class to manage all my validation and error messages. But I'd like to know how I can customize the error messages (I'd like to put them in another language for example).

The documentation says:

Language strings are stored in files within the resources/lang directory. Within this directory there should be a subdirectory for each language supported by the application.

Just create a directory with the supported language code, and add a validation.php file (it is wise to just copy the one provided in English then start translating).

An example for Spanish translation would be created at resources/lang/es/validation.php. And it will look as follow:

<?php

return array(
    "required" => "El campo :attribute es requerido.",
);

After that, you will need to change the default language.

The default language for your application is stored in the app/config/app.php configuration file. You may change the active language at any time using the App::setLocale method.

Example of changing the default language at runtime:

App::setLocale('es');
