这招对我很管用:

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

将此代码添加到验证插件后包含的单独文件/脚本中，以覆盖消息，随意编辑:)

jQuery.extend(jQuery.validator.messages, {
    required: "This field is required.",
    remote: "Please fix this field.",
    email: "Please enter a valid email address.",
    url: "Please enter a valid URL.",
    date: "Please enter a valid date.",
    dateISO: "Please enter a valid date (ISO).",
    number: "Please enter a valid number.",
    digits: "Please enter only digits.",
    creditcard: "Please enter a valid credit card number.",
    equalTo: "Please enter the same value again.",
    accept: "Please enter a value with a valid extension.",
    maxlength: jQuery.validator.format("Please enter no more than {0} characters."),
    minlength: jQuery.validator.format("Please enter at least {0} characters."),
    rangelength: jQuery.validator.format("Please enter a value between {0} and {1} characters long."),
    range: jQuery.validator.format("Please enter a value between {0} and {1}."),
    max: jQuery.validator.format("Please enter a value less than or equal to {0}."),
    min: jQuery.validator.format("Please enter a value greater than or equal to {0}.")
});

});

});

因为我们已经使用了JQuery，我们可以让页面设计者在标记中添加自定义消息，而不是代码:

<input ... data-msg-required="my message" ...

或者，更通用的解决方案是在所有字段上使用一个简短的data-msg属性:

<form id="form1">
    <input type="text" id="firstName" name="firstName" 
        data-msg="Please enter your first name" />
    <br />
    <input type="text" id="lastName" name="lastName" 
        data-msg="Please enter your last name" />
    <br />
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

然后代码包含如下内容:

function getMsg(selector) {
    return $(selector).attr('data-msg');
}

$('#form1').validate({
    // ...
    messages: {
        firstName: getMsg('#firstName'),
        lastName: getMsg('#lastName')
    }
    // ...
});

删除所有默认错误消息

$.validator.messages.required = "";
