Replacing translation result in Laravel 5.7 as a one off?

Trying to see how it is possible to replace a translation string programmatically in a controlled situation.

e.g. the default i18n has

[
    "button": "xxx"
]

So when we run trans('button') we get back xxx

However we're in a situation with a 3rd party package where we need to change this result in a special circumstance, e.g imagine...

if (request()->mode === 'create') {
    app('translator')->overwrite('button', 'yyyy');
}

So when we do trans('button') we get our new yyyy

We're not expecting this to persist across pages or anything like that, just a one-off, on the fly change before we get to the view much as you can do config(['key' => 'new value']);

Currently, we have a solution that feels a bit delicate and hacky, that we do not think will work with config caching e.g, so ideally would like a proper solution.

return [
    'button' => request()->is('custom-page') ? 'custom text' : 'default text',
];

You can overwrite the translation string using the following code:

app('translator')->addLines(['form.button' => 'yyyyy'] , 'en');

In your case :

if (request()->mode === 'create') 
{
   app('translator')->addLines(['form.button' => 'yyyyy'] , 'en');
}

Please note that form in form.button is the name of the language file, so you might need to change it based on your file name.

Edited

If you have a namespace then pass the name as third parameter like following:

app('translator')->addLines(['form.button' => 'yyyyy'] , 'en', 'your_name_space');
