Globalization for ASP.NET MVC 2 Validators

Question

Is there anyway to override the custom validation error messages from the ValidationAttributes?

Basically I need the ValidationAttributes to support globalization.

Answer 1

I saw a question on ScottGu's blog about it and he responded with, that is if you are using DataAnnotations. Are you?

Yes - you can localize that today. In addition to specifying the string explictly you can alternatively provide a resource key. That allows you to fully localize the error messages.

UPDATE: I was looking at some other stuff and came across this article. Thought it might help you, or anyone else that may stumble across it.
