Bean Validation: How to localize messages programmatically?

In my current rest-service scenario I need to be able to provide localized error messages to individual clients.

Think of a method like void validate(Locale locale) which is called on the parameter object when receiving some request.

The locale information can be squeezed out of the http headers.

How can I instruct/configure a validator to use a certain language when violation messages are getting interpolated?

As far as I know a validator chooses the used Locale by calling Locale.getDefault().

So far I couldn't find anything other than this article which does not exactly fit to my needs (a story too long to tell).

Thanks in advance!

According to the spec you have two possibilities:

Use interpolate(String, Context, Locale) or implement a custom message interpolator.

A custom message interpolator may be provided (e.g., to interpolate contextual data, or to adjust the default Locale used).
