Hi all,

is there a way how to change this default message "9 errors prohibited this user from being saved, There were problems with the following fields:" I'd like to be in Czech. Is it possible? Thx. P.

There is a :header_message option on error_messages_for:

:header_message - The message in the header of the error div. Pass nil or an empty string to avoid the header message altogether. (Default: "X errors prohibited this object from being saved").

http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ActiveRecordHelper.html#M001282

You could also monkey patch ActionView::Helpers::ActiveRecordHelper if you want to change the default message across the entire application.

module ActionView   module Helpers     module ActiveRecordHelper

      def error_messages_for_with_message_overrides(*params)         options = params.extract_options!.symbolize_keys         options[:header_message] = "My Custom Error Message" unless options.include?(:header_message)         options[:message] = "" unless options.include? (:message)         error_messages_for_without_message_overrides(params, options)       end

      alias_method_chain :error_messages_for, :message_overrides     end   end end

Cheers
