How to replace standard error messages on own in Codeigniter?

I have languages file form_validation_lang.php with a standard errors messages in array.

I added some own messages here:

$lang['my'] = "Enter vacancy name";

I have form validation:

$this->form_validation->set_rules('vacancy', 'here load text from field my', 'required');

I want to display only text from $lang['my'] when my field is not filled.

You can set messages for certain rule, make form_validation.php inside application folder as @Craig mentioned above:

$lang['form_validation_required']       = 'Yep, that {field} is required and has custom message.';

You can place rules message inside controller:

$this->form_validation->set_message('integer', 'There must be an integer.');

And you can also set message for one of the rules among others:

$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Your email', 'required|valid_email',
    array('valid_email' => 'Watch out, it should be email')
);
