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


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
