This method is deprecated. You should use: 

I18n.translate('activerecord.errors.messages')

Overriding default validation messages

mcmire · Jul 27, 20093 thanks

Before Rails 2.2 you could globally customize the default validation error messages by changing AR::Base.default_error_messages. The messages have now been moved to i18n, so to customize them in 2.2 and up, just create a +locales/+ folder in your +config/+ folder, copy +activerecord/lib/active_record/locale/en.yml+ (in Rails source) to +config/locales/en.yml+, and then change the strings inside. As szeryf indicated below, the strings of interest are +activerecord.errors.messages+.
