10 years ago Great answer on stack overflow to this question:
What it comes down to is that right now if you want to define a custom error message in each local for every input field in your app then you need to define a custom validator for each input field in your app.
I guess this could be a feature request then, to add support for data-parsley-constraint-message-
Why don't you use the localization of Parsley instead of defining the messages on the inputs?
I suggest you download the localizations that you need from the source. After that, according to the docs you can load the i18n before the plugin, like this:
<script src="i18n/fr.js"></script>
<script src="i18n/it.js"></script>
<script src="parsley.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.ParsleyValidator.setLocale('fr');
</script>Or you can load the i18n after the plugin (in that case, it will assume the last loaded localization - in the following example it will be Italian), like this:
<script src="parsley.min.js"></script>
<script src="i18n/fr.js"></script>
<script src="i18n/it.js"></script>On my projects I typically load the needed localization based a Cookie or Session variable:
<script src="parsley.min.js"></script>
<script src="i18n/"<?= echo $lang ?>".js"></script>With either of the options, you don't need to add data-parsley-constraint-message to each input. And when you need to change a message you can do that in the localization file.
To conclude, if you need custom validators, you can check the docs to see how you can define the different localizations.
Currently I'm using
data-parsley-constraint-message="English sentence goes here"but now that I'm working to add localization these messages will never be translated using the i18n library because they are custom.Is there a way to add something like
data-parsley-constraint-message-fr="Francais francais francais"or someway to do it through JS?Specifically I'm using
data-parsley-required-message=""
