Hi @jeffjoseph,

Are you able to log into the application ok? If you don't need those logs (if you're not looking for something specific) you can delete that file (laravel.log) and it will be recreated when Laravel logs a new entry.

Why it is logging in a different language is an interesting issue though. I would try to delete the log and then do an action that will generate log entries and see if they are in the language you expect. Visiting the dashboard should generate entries if you're in debug mode. You can follow the steps in at the top of this page to turn debug mode on. Remember to carefully follow the steps for turning it back off after you're done.

php artisan log:clear isn't a valid command so the error you're getting makes sense.
