How to translate active record model validations

Question

When I submit a form with an error in it, it returns an error message. How can I translate these error messages with i18n? I already have translation for all the other texts in

Answer 1

Just use the Dutch translations file that you can find here. It contains translations for most (if not all) ActiveRecord validation messages.

Copy the file to config/locales/ in your project.

Alternate method

If you want to benefit from updated translations, add the following to your Gemfile instead of copying the translation files by hand:

gem 'rails-i18n'
