BadMethodCallException Method IlluminateTranslationTranslator::trans does not exist – Laravel

I have upgraded my laravel application from 5.3 to 8.83. When logging in with the correct credentials everything is fine. But with the wrong username or password, the error is thrown.
I don’t know where the method trans() is called and hence causing the problem.
I have gone through almost all of the suggested solutions online but unsuccessful.

Here is my Translator class
