Change the method of replacing placeholders in the message.

Hello.
I'm a Japanese engineer.
I'm not good at English, but like you, I want to make Laravel better.

Proposal

Change the method of replacing placeholders in the message.

Background

I created a Japanese language file using laravel-lang/lang v13.2.5, but I noticed that the :Other placeholder was not replaced when a validation error message was displayed.
However, :attribute and :Attribute have been replaced.
When I investigated the source code, I found that :other must be all lowercase letters to be replaced.

:attribute has different results depending on the case of the placeholder.
The same goes for placeholder replacement using the trans() helper.

Example: :attribute -> field name, :Attirubte -> Field name, :ATTRIBUTE -> FIELD NAME

This is currently an issue with the laravel-lang/lang language file.
However, :other is a placeholder that can be replaced with the attribute name, just like :attribute.

I think it would lead to confusion if these replacement methods are different, so I would like to suggest changing the replacement method so that it is the same as the :attribute replacement method.

Also, to maintain consistency, I think :min, :date, etc. should be replaced with :Min, :DATE as well. (Although the replacement result remains the same)
However, this change may be redundant since :min, :max, etc. are replaced with numerical values.

Please let me know your opinions on my thoughts.

I agree. It does not make sense to have uppercase and lowercase placeholders. The word means the same...

Thank you for reply!

I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but I think you've misunderstood my intent.
I was going to change it as below.

current
:attribute -> field name, :Attirubte -> Field name, :ATTRIBUTE -> FIELD NAME
:other -> other field name, :Other -> (not replaced), :OTHER -> (not replaced)

change
:attribute -> field name, :Attirubte -> Field name, :ATTRIBUTE -> FIELD NAME
:other -> other field name, :Other -> Other field name, :OTHER -> OTHER FIELD NAME

The essence of the problem is not whether uppercase or lowercase letters are converted or not, but the :attribute and :other placeholders are handled differently.
It might be a good idea to make them all lowercase!

change
:attribute -> field name, :Attribute -> (not replaced), :ATTRIBUTE -> (not replaced)
:other -> other field name, :Other -> (not replaced), :OTHER -> (not replaced)
