Hi Pepe,

so, after a week of trying I finally found the solution and am posting 
it here in case it helps anyone else.

Error message in model:

errors.add(field, "This field is too long.\nYou are using 
#{self[field].length} characters out of a permitted #{permitted}.")

And in the view:
<%= simple_format(error_message_on :applicant, :thesis) %>

Thanks very much for your help.
