How to translate error messages in Colander

Question

How can I translate the error messages from the colander validators? The documentation just says that it's possible.

def valid_text(node, value):
        raise Invalid(node, u"Some error message")

class form(colander.MappingSchema):
    name = colander.SchemaNode(colander.String(), validator=valid_text)

I know that deform does it already but I need to use colander on his own.

According to the API documentation, the msg argument to Invalid can be a translation string instance. Information on working with translation strings is here.

Looks like this issue was already addressed and fixed, but it will be part of the next release. I've just added the changes from commit f6be836 and it works like a charm.
