How to translate validation error messages

I tried following the documentation

https://payloadcms.com/docs/fields/overview#validation

Validation function has translation function as an optional param, but when I use the same translation function, the error message still does not translate.

I have not extended i18 configuration. I am just using the

t

function and expecting payload to translate according to the language chosen by the user. Is there anything that I am missing.

validate: (value, { t }) => {
        if (condition) return true;
        return t(
          "The URL must start with xyz"
        );
      }

The
t
function uses the keys defined in the translation files. Take a look at
en.json
for available keys and one of the errors in source to see how it can be used. Typically, it would take a string as
namespace:translationKey
.
