changing the language of error message in required field in html5 contact form

I am trying to change the language of the error message in the html5 form field.

I have this code:

<input type="text" name="company_name"  oninvalid="setCustomValidity('Lütfen işaretli yerleri doldurunuz')" required /> 

but on submit, even the field is not blank, I still get the error message.

I tried with <input type="text" name="company_name" setCustomValidity('Lütfen işaretli yerleri doldurunuz') required />

but then the english message is displayed. Anyone know how can I display the error message on other language?

Solution 1:

setCustomValidity's purpose is not just to set the validation message, it itself marks the field as invalid. It allows you to write custom validation checks which aren't natively supported.

You have two possible ways to set a custom message, an easy one that does not involve Javascript and one that does.

The easiest way is to simply use the title attribute on the input element - its content is displayed together with the standard browser message.

<input type="text" required title="Lütfen işaretli yerleri doldurunuz" />

If you want only your custom message to be displayed, a bit of Javascript is required. I have provided both examples for you in this fiddle.

Solution 2:

your forget this in oninvalid, change your code with this:

    oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity('Lütfen işaretli yerleri doldurunuz')"

<form><input type="text" name="company_name"  oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity('Lütfen işaretli yerleri doldurunuz')" required /><input type="submit">
</form>

Solution 3:

HTML:

<form id="myform">
    <input id="email" oninvalid="InvalidMsg(this);" name="email" oninput="InvalidMsg(this);"  type="email" required="required" />
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

JAVASCRIPT :

function InvalidMsg(textbox) {
    if (textbox.value == '') {
        textbox.setCustomValidity('Lütfen işaretli yerleri doldurunuz');
    }
    else if (textbox.validity.typeMismatch){
        textbox.setCustomValidity('Lütfen işaretli yere geçerli bir email adresi yazınız.');
    }
    else {
       textbox.setCustomValidity('');
    }
    return true;
}

Solution 4:

This work for me.

<input oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity('custom text on invalid')" onchange="this.setCustomValidity('')" required>

onchange is a must!

Solution 5:

I know this is an old post but i want to share my experience.

HTML:

<input type="text" placeholder="Username or E-Mail" required data-required-message="E-Mail or Username is Required!">

Javascript (jQuery):

$('input[required]').on('invalid', function() {
    this.setCustomValidity($(this).data("required-message"));
});

This is a very simple sample. I hope this can help to anyone.
