If anyone else is getting the same issue, the main reason that the database driver is not working is that the translations are not synced.

To solve the issue, follow these steps:

  1. After changing driver to database in config/translation.php, run php artisan migrate
  2. run the command php artisan translation:sync-translations
  3. You will be prompted a few questions. See the screenshot image
