[jQuery] [validate] Translation of the message-object with the SetDefaults function? How?

[MarcDK]

Hi!

I want to translate the messages of the validation plugin without
touching the org. files.

I tried to overwrite the message object like this:

<code>
$.validator.setDefaults({
        messages: {
                required: "Dies ist ein Pflichtfeld!",
                remote: "Bitte ändere die Eingabe.",
        }
});
</code>

How do I overwrite the message object? Thanx for your help
