Sails has built-in utility for application internalization based on i18-node package.

Usage is very simple. First you need to configure your locales in config/i18n folder. Second you need to create translation files under config/locales folder.

Then you can just use it:

module.exports = {
    attributes: {
        name: {
            type: 'string',
            required: true
        }
    },

    validation_messages: {
        name: {
            required: 'you_have_to_specify_a_name_or_else'
        }
    }  
};

And then in view actually translating:

<p>Validation Error: <%= __('you_have_to_specify_a_name_or_else') %>

If your views are not rendering on backend you can use sails.__() method for translating directly in the model.
