Overriding the default humanize translation?

I've been trying to find a way to natively modify the human translation of a field name for error reporting purposes. I found this plugin:

http://svn.redlinesoftware.com/plugins/human_attribute_override

Is there anyway to do this without a plugin?

I'm the developer of that plugin.

Trac seems to be down, so I can't refer you to the ticket that spawned this plugin, but my patch was rejected due to parts of the human attribute functionality that's currently in rails being deprecated in rails 2.

So afaik, using the plugin is the only way to do what you're looking for now and in the future.
