MVC Serverside Validation not always localized, why?

I have the following properties in my View Model:

public decimal Credit { get; set; }

[EmailAddress]
public string TestEmail { get; set; }

And I got these 2 error messages on Serverside validation, using @Html.ValidationSummary():

The second one is perfect translated using the [EmailAddress] Attribute. However the first one, is still in english. Why?

I have googled a bit but every solution is talking about customizing the Validation-messages. What I want is the default Validation-message, but translated to my Culture, like the [EmailAddress] Attribute.

I have this in my web.config:

<system.web>
    <globalization culture="de-DE" uiCulture="de-DE"/>

So how can I make the message The value '97,50 €' is not valid for Credit. be translated to another language?

I have not included the client side validation scripts.

Create a Messages.resx in the folder App_GlobalResources. Add the following line:

PropertyValueInvalid | Der Wert "{0}" ist für das Feld "{1}" nicht erlaubt.

Then point to the Messages.resx in you Application_Start()

ClientDataTypeModelValidatorProvider.ResourceClassKey = "Messages";
DefaultModelBinder.ResourceClassKey = "Messages";

Some others which might be helpfull:

FieldMustBeDate | Das Feld "{0}" ist kein gültiges Datum.

FieldMustBeNumeric | Das Feld "{0}" ist keine gültige Zahl.

PropertyValueRequired | Das Feld "{0}" ist erforderlich.
