Arguably, this is an abuse of the API and may not work in future releases of ActiveRecord. Alternatively, use ActiveRecord::Errors#add_to_base to add a message to the base object instead of a specific attribute. This gives you control of the full error message. Finally, you could use a localization plugin to handle translation of error messages in the view.

it doesn''t lack documentation - see the README file inccluded in the
plugin:
Custom Error Message
===================
This plugin gives you the option to not have your custom validation error
message
prefixed with the attribute name. Ordinarily, if you have, say:
validates_acceptance_of :accepted_terms, :message => ''Please
accept the
terms of service''
You''ll get the following error message:
Accepted terms Please accept the terms of service
This plugin allows you to omit the attribute name for specific messages. All
you have to do
is begin the message with a ''^'' character. Example:
validates_acceptance_of :accepted_terms, :message => ''^Please
accept the
terms of service''
Detail
------
Redefines the ActiveRecord::Errors::full_messages method:
Returns all the full error messages in an array. ''Base''
messages are
handled as usual.
Non-base messages are prefixed with the attribute name as usual UNLESS they
begin with ''^''
in which case the attribute name is omitted.
