Global translation for all model fields?

I'd like to use a nested array with models and translated field names. And use them globally for columns and fields:

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Filament\Forms\Components\Field;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class FilamentServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        Field::configureUsing(function (Field $field) {
            $model = 'post';
            $fieldName = $field->getName();
            $field->label(__("models.$model.$fieldName"));
        });
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Filament\Forms\Components\Field;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class FilamentServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        Field::configureUsing(function (Field $field) {
            $model = 'post';
            $fieldName = $field->getName();
            $field->label(__("models.$model.$fieldName"));
        });
    }
}

Is there any way to dynamically determine the $model from the calling component?

I tried something like this, in order to set the model which I can then use in the service provider. But I don't know which method I could use for this:

    protected function getTableColumns(): array
    {
        return collect([
            TextColumn::make('name'),
            TextColumn::make('email'),
        ])->transform(function (TextColumn $column) {
            $column->extraAttributes(['model' => 'Post']);
        })->all();
    }

    protected function getTableColumns(): array
    {
        return collect([
            TextColumn::make('name'),
            TextColumn::make('email'),
        ])->transform(function (TextColumn $column) {
            $column->extraAttributes(['model' => 'Post']);
        })->all();
    }

I've got something working without ::configureUsing:

    protected function getFormSchema(): array
    {
        return collect([
            TextInput::make('organisation')
                ->required(),
            TextInput::make('brin'),
            TextInput::make('city'),
        ])
            ->transform(fn(Field $field) => $field->label(__('models.school.' . $field->getName())))
            ->all();
    }

    protected function getFormSchema(): array
    {
        return collect([
            TextInput::make('organisation')
                ->required(),
            TextInput::make('brin'),
            TextInput::make('city'),
        ])
            ->transform(fn(Field $field) => $field->label(__('models.school.' . $field->getName())))
            ->all();
    }

It would still be nice to do this in a service provider, if anyone could give me a better solution...

i wouldnt do this from a service provider even if it was easily possible, would be a nightmare to reverse for example, in table filter forms

I could work around that by checking some attribute or checking if a translation in that form is available. But, I get your point and indeed it's quite... obtrusive. I'll stick with the collect()->transform(). Thanks!
