Laravel - Localization - Using Short Keys

Typically, translation strings are stored in files within the resources/lang directory. Within this directory, there should be a subdirectory for each language supported by your application. This is the approach Laravel uses to manage translation strings for built-in Laravel features such as validation error messages:

    
    /resources
        /lang
            /en
                messages.php
            /es
                messages.php
	

All language files return an array of keyed strings. For example:

    
     'Welcome to our application!',
    ];
	

For languages that differ by territory, you should name the language directories according to the ISO 15897. For example, "en_GB" should be used for British English rather than "en-gb".
