Unable to Localize Buttons, Inputs, and Resource Strings in Laravel Nova

[balajdebora]

• Laravel Version: 11.41.3
• Nova Version: 5.1.9

Description:

1. Buttons:
   The following buttons do not support localization, as there is no way to translate them in the documentation or through Laravel’s translation functions:

   • Attach – Found in the "Attach Role" action for a user.
   • Cancel – Appears when updating a resource.
   • Create & Add Another – Found on the resource creation page.
   • Update & Continue Editing – Found when updating a resource.

2. Inputs:

   • Searchable fields: The placeholder does not support localization, while placeholders for regular (non-searchable) inputs work as expected. The exact cause is unclear, but it may be related to how the search functionality is implemented within Laravel Nova.
   • MorphTo fields: The placeholder does not support localization at all, regardless of the selected language. Unlike other input fields, it does not apply any translations, making it always appear in English.

3. Resource Strings:

   • ":resource Details" – This appears on the resource details page and does not translate dynamically based on the selected language, remaining in English even when translations exist. There is no documented way to localize it.
   • "No :resource matched the given criteria" – This message appears on a table page when no matching records are found. It does not support localization and remains in English, with no documented method to translate it.

Additional Notes:

Some of these strings appear to be hardcoded within Laravel Nova’s vendor files, making it impossible to override or translate them through standard localization methods.
