The latest version of Magritte (Magritte-All-lr.179 or later) has properties to set the error text for specific error, e.g. #conflictErrorMessage:, #kindErrorMessage:, #multipleErrorsMessage:, #requiredErrorMessage: and #rangeErrorMessage:. The latest version of Pier also makes use of this new feature and now displays much nicer error messages. Note that you are required to load Seaside2.7 to use this version of Magritte.
