If you got "language" is not allowed error message. Oh, you've come to the right place.

Now, 2020 and with Joi v17.2.1 we can use Joi.any().equal() or Joi.any().valid() with Joi.ref() and custom message with messages():

password: Joi.string().min(3).max(15).required().label('Password'),
password_confirmation: Joi.any().equal(Joi.ref('password'))
    .required()
    .label('Confirm password')
    .messages({ 'any.only': '{{#label}} does not match' })

Or use options()

password: Joi.string().min(3).max(15).required().label('Password'),
password_confirmation: Joi.any().equal(Joi.ref('password'))
    .required()
    .label('Confirm password')
    .options({ messages: { 'any.only': '{{#label}} does not match'} })

Validate error will show ValidationError: "Confirm password" does not match if not match.
And show ValidationError: "Confirm password" is required if you have not pass password_confirmation.

Hope useful to someguys.
