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/langdirectory. 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.phpconfiguration file. You may change the active language at any time using theApp::setLocalemethod.
Example of changing the default language at runtime:
App::setLocale('es'); 1 Comment

It seems like they moved it from
app/lang... to ressources/lang...in laravel 5 the validation.php file comes under the folder resources.
resources/lang/en/validation.php

And you can find all the factory messages translated on GitHub.
app/lang/en/validation.phptoapp/lang/es/validation.phpfor Spanish translation. Then change the default language withApp::setLocale('es');.
