Question

I have a model with some validations (validates_associated, validates :numericality and validate :my_own_fn). How can I specify error messages for this validation? Of course I can add :message => :my_message in validatates and then specify my_message in locales, but can I do smth like

en:
  activerecord:
    errors:
      models:
        user:
          email_invalid: "Email is invalid."

Looks like you’re almost there. Have a look at official guide on i18n here. According to it your message should be in a bit different place:

en:
  activerecord:
    errors:
      models:
        user:
          attributes:
            email:
              invalid: "Email is invalid."
