Your custom validator should extend ValidatorSupport class, which has a convenient method getMessage(Object object) to get i18n messages set with key parameter.

So inside validate method instead of calling getDefaultMessage (which simple returns default message) call getMessage which will evaluate key parameter with additional messageParams.

public void validate(Object o) throws ValidationException {
    //Do some logic
    addActionError(getMessage(o));
}
