I am getting this error on my new Laravel project. I am trying to run after a fresh installation.
Declaration of Symfony\Component\Translation\TranslatorInterface::setLocale($locale) must be compatible with Symfony\Contracts\Translation\LocaleAwareInterface::setLocale(string $locale)
On my server following were configurations:
PHP 7.1.26-1+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 Laravel Framework 5.7.28
Solution:
Added
"symfony/translation": "4.3.8" in composer.json as follows
"require": {
...
"symfony/translation": "4.3.8",
}
and then
composer update
composer update --ignore-platform-reqs
I got the same error on PHP 7.2.3 after composer update (symfony\translation v4.3.8 => v4.4.0).
I solved this issue with "symfony/translation": "4.3.8" in my composer.json.
It's a bad idea to hard edit vendors files.

Edit:
Symfony doc says Install PHP 7.2.5 or higher, so if you don't want to add this restriction into your composer.json file, you can upgrade your PHP version to 7.2.5+ (check others libraries compatibility first).
I got the same error today and I solved it with a little editing. Just do this:
Navigate to
vendor/symfony/translation-contracts/LocaleAwareInteface.php
and delete string keyword from the setLocale() function.
If you get this error after this:
Declaration of Symfony\Component\Translation\Translator::trans($id, array $parameters = Array, $domain = NULL, $locale = NULL) must be compatible with Symfony\Contracts\Translation\TranslatorInterface::trans(string $id, array $parameters = Array, ?string $domain = NULL, ?string $locale = NULL)
Just navigate to:
vendor/symfony/translation-contracts/TranslatorInteface.php
and delete all the string keywords from the trans() function
--EDIT--
If you don't want to edit vendor files, you can use this:
Open your composer.json file, and add this in "require"
"symfony/translation": "4.3.8",
Then open your terminal and type this:
composer update
It is not a bug.
The latest version of symfony packages requires PHP version to be at-least 7.2.5
Change the PHP version to 7.2.5 or greater and it should work.
Updating my PHP version to 7.3 works for me.
I found simple solution to this problem after roaming google so long. If it could help someone. Upgrading your PHP Version to 7.2 or more
1. sudo a2dismod phpX(X is less than 7.2 version)
2. sudo a2enmod php7.2(could be greater than or equal to 7.2)
3. service apache2 restart
Following these steps should help you getting rid of this issue
Update your PHP version. This often comes as a result of running composer update with a different version of PHP.
