Is there a way to replace this “Primary email is invalid” message?

I couldn’t find it in the list of customisable Text Content and I think it could be a tad more descriptive 🙂

Did you search for “primary email is invalid”?

He’s right there isn’t a direct match in Admin, Text Content – this might be because we’re using that built in Rails validation stuff, so it could be of the form

`{fieldname} is invalid`

@pfaffman yes I did 🙂

@codinghorror looks like there’s no label containing `{fieldname}`, but I do see a generic `activerecord.errors.messages.invalid = is invalid` and a few others like it. I’ve changed all three and it turns out to be the active record one.

It’s a very trivial nuisance, but it would help guide the user a bit 🙂
