Hello fellow programmers, I would like to change the min_num error message of a formset. My code creates a formset using an inlineformset_factory: formset_clazz = inlineformset_factory(MyParentModel, MyModel, MyModelForm, can_delete=True, min_num=1, validate_min=True) formset = formset_clazz(data=request.POST) print(formset._non_form_errors) if formset.is_valid(): print("yay!") else: print("nay!") return render(request, "mytemplate.html", {'formset':formset}) In the template I render the non_form_errors: {% if formset.non_form_errors %} <ul> {% for error in form.non_form_errors %} <li> {{ error }} </li> {% endfor %} </ul> {% endif %} The min_num validation works as intended and shows the error message Please submit 1 or more forms., when a user removes all forms and submits the formset. My question is: How do I change the error message? From [0] I learned, that it is stored in formset._non_form_errors, but without a way to override the too_few_forms [1] (ctrl-F validate_min) code's message. The BaseFormSet class itself uses ngettext to translate the message, but I do not really want to setup internationalization just for this (or is that easy and straight-forward?). Is there a more convenient way to achieve my goal?
