XSD validation in Javascript

Like your article :)

Any chance of using that XSD file to contain language locaization.

What I mean is, quite a few javascripts have hard coded messages, so we control can can fix, some we cannot due to design or due to ownership.

given his kind of response
"you have 43 messages"

It would be great if that message could be auto converted using a scheme that contains language oriented content such as
"jij heb 43 berichten" (dutch version) obviously keeping the int intact when changing.
