Translating CodeIgniter's form validation error messages

Question

Is there anyway to translate CodeIgniter\'s form validation error messages without touching to system files?

Answer 1

If you need to set a custom error message for a particular field on some particular rule, use the set_rules() method:

    $this->form_validation->set_rules('field_name', 'Field Label', 'rule1|rule2|rule3',
        array('rule2' => 'Error Message on rule2 for this field_name')
);

This will solve your all fields problem independently. :)
