这招对我很管用:

// Change default JQuery validation Messages.
$("#addnewcadidateform").validate({
        rules: {
            firstname: "required",
            lastname: "required",
            email: "required email",
        },
        messages: {
            firstname: "Enter your First Name",
            lastname: "Enter your Last Name",
            email: {
                required: "Enter your Email",
                email: "Please enter a valid email address.",
            }
        }
    })

您可以在验证调用中指定自己的消息。从验证插件文档(http://jquery.bassistance.de/validate/demo/milk/)中使用的Remember the Milk注册表单中提升和缩写这段代码，您可以轻松地指定自己的消息:

var validator = $("#signupform").validate({
    rules: {
        firstname: "required",
        lastname: "required",
        username: {
            required: true,
            minlength: 2,
            remote: "users.php"
        }
    },
    messages: {
        firstname: "Enter your firstname",
        lastname: "Enter your lastname",
        username: {
            required: "Enter a username",
            minlength: jQuery.format("Enter at least {0} characters"),
            remote: jQuery.format("{0} is already in use")
        }
    }
});

            }
        }
    })

这招对我很管用:

$.validator.messages.required = 'required';

而不是改变插件源代码，你可以包括一个额外的js文件，格式类似于下载本地化文件夹中的那些，并在加载validation.js后包括那个文件

jQuery.extend(jQuery.validator.messages, {
    required: ...,
    maxlength: jQuery.validator.format(...),
    ...
});

@Josh:你可以从你的资源包中翻译消息来扩展你的解决方案

<script type="text/javascript">
    $.validator.messages.number = '@Html.Raw(@Resources.General.ErrorMessageNotANumber)';
</script>

如果你把这段代码放到你的_Layout中。cshtml (MVC)，它可用于所有视图
