Very easy question - Translate error text

[AlejandroCBA]

I created the simples project using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore

I got all working without issues, and I can see the login page without any issue.

The questino is:
When I got the error form validations such as "The Username field is required.", how can I translate this text? (Please note that I am happy translate this manually, I do not need a multilingual project) (I searched in the solution, in the whole database... I am definitly missing something silly here)

Thank you in advance.

Can you give us a very small project code so we can see how you've done this? I'm not even sure what web technology you've used

Moved this thread to Entity Framework for now assuming that the Identity Core has data annotations for input validation. But if it turns out that the validation is up at the UI level, I'll move this thread again.

I'm guessing that you have a RequiredAttribute on that property. If so, I think it's always going to provide that default error message unless you provide one yourself. If you follow the link I provided and read the documentation, which you should already have done, then you'll see their code example of providing a custom error message. That message can be whatever you want in whatever language you want.

The link below is for MVC2 data annotation validation message localization, but I have suspicion that the same techniques would still apply in MVC5.

Localize ASP.NET MVC 2 DataAnnotations validation messages

Living in a country where there are there are three languages being used, almost every application you work on requires some form of localization. In an earlier blog post, I already mentioned ASP.NET MVC 2’s DataAnnotations support for doing model validation. Ever since, I was wondering if it...

Yup, looks similar:

Globalization and Localization of Model Validation Messages in MVC

In this quick post you will learn how to globalize and localize the model validation messages in MVC Applications. At the end of this article, you will also learn how to display the localized message (greeting) on the page.

Localised resources is definitely the more professional way to do it and means that you can change messages or add languages without recompiling. If you don't want multiple languages and don't feel the need to be able to change a message without recompiling, providing messages explicitly in the code rather than resource names will be a little less work.

Thank you to everyone for the replies.

I have the mini project here:

I will be more careful next time posting to ensure I put the source code.

Thank you again.
