When Validation fails, it reads: The 2. <validation message>

When Validation fails, it reads: The 2.

From the error that triggered this, 2 refers to the row of the error. But "The 2." looks bad.
How can I change this to "Row 2 has an error."

I've never seen this "The 2." I don't have a clue where that would come from in this package.

This should be the actual error message displayed: https://github.com/SpartnerNL/Laravel-Excel/blob/3.1/src/Validators/Failure.php#L82 As you can see it's translatable, so you can change the message in the en.json translation file

This appears to happen when you getMessage() on the ValidationException, convert it to a string, etc. Getting ->errors() will work correctly, since Maatwebsite\Excel\Validators\ValidationException overrides it, but summarize (which defines the message of the base exception) doesn't use errors() and just talks to the validator.

This would probably be nice to override, but you can also look into the $validationException->errors().
