Internationalization at HTML5

How can I change the messages of HTML5 (or doses it change according to browser's language automatically?)

For example:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>    
<html>    
<body>        

<form action="demo_form.asp" method="get">

E-mail: <input type="email" name="user_email" /><br />

<input type="submit" />

</form>


</body>    
</html>

When I run this code (from W3schools) at Opera and write a non valid e-mail address it says 

Please enter a valid email address

How can I change it to another language instead of English or change the warning to what I want?

There are no built-in internationalisation solutions currently in HTML(5) and all proposals seem dead. However you may find the Passive Localisation JavaScript library of some use. Online demonstration can be found here.

Well there are different options.

  1. You can disable the form validation of the form (or the field) with formnovalidate and provide a custom error message with javascript (and serverside ofcourse).

  2. You can use javascript and use the .setCustomValidity() method to provide a (custom) error message but it is intended to add extra rules to the field.

  3. You can use x-moz-errormessage to set a custom errormessage. But using this you need to know that this is not a standard.
