Laravel Get the translations of the application from a package

I am trying to develop a small package in Laravel, but I have the following problem. From my package I need to get the translations that are present in the languages directory:

Example:

myapp/resources/lang

When I make a call as follows to get the translations of a file:

    private function getTranslationsFromFile()
    {
        return Lang::get('auth');
    }

It does not return the translations in that file. It only returns auth. In the Laravel languages directory there is that file, but inside the directory en.

So I have defined before getting the translations the default 'locale' so that I can load them from there in this way:

    private function getTranslationsFromFile()
    {
        app()->setLocale('en');
        
        return Lang::get('auth');
    }

this way it works fine, but my question is the following, is there no way to load the translations regardless of whether or not the 'locale' is set? I mean, is it not possible to get the translations just by giving it a file path?

Example:

    private function getTranslationsFromFile()
    {        
        return Lang::get('en/auth');
    }

Thank you very much in advance.

You can certainly do that by leveraging the third and fourth parameter of Lang::get():

This is the method's signature:

get(string $key, array $replace = [], string|null $locale = null, bool $fallback = true)

The third parameter specifies the locale you'd wish to get the translation string for:

Lang::get('auth.failed', [], 'en')

To set a fallback language in case that the translation is not available in the chosen locale, use the fourth parameter:

Lang::get('auth.failed', [], 'en', 'es')
