Ruby on Rails: how to change the language of error messages?

Now I want to use error.full_messages to display the error messages. But it's default language is English. I want to show other language's error message. How can I do that? Or I have to self define something?

Thank you!

Assuming you're referring to error messages for your models, you can internationalize your error messages in your locale yaml files using the activerecord.errors key. For example:

en:
  activerecord:
    errors:
      models:
        user:
          attributes:
            name:
              blank: can't be blank
            email:
              blank: can't be blank
              invalid: is invalid
            password:
              too_short: is too short (minimum is 6 characters)

See section 5.1.1 of the Rails i18n guide for more details on i18n-izing error messages.
