localize default model validation in mvc 2

Question

[Required]
[DisplayName("my date")]
public DateTime? DateReg { get; set; }

so if the user is going to pass in an invalid datetime value he will get this message "The value '02.07.201022' is not valid for my date."

how can I translate/localize this message ?

Answer 1

Add Messages.resx in App_GlobalResources and in Application_Start in Global.asax:

DefaultModelBinder.ResourceClassKey = "Messages";

Then in the Messages.resx file you could define the following string:

PropertyValueInvalid: The value {0} is invalid for the property {1}

The key needs to be called PropertyValueInvalid.
