I need a simple way to validate a form, basically just checking that the user typed something. Several articles on the web recommended the jQuery Validation plugin, so I just gave it a try.

It seems to work fine, but 1) is it localized and 2) how will it choose the right language?

I assume it's based on how the browser is configured. Currently, I'm running Google Chrome in English: For testing purposes, how can I reconfigure it to check that the jQuery Validation plugin is able to show the error messages ("This field is required", "Please enter a valid email address", etc.) in French? Is this done through Advanced Settings > Languages?

FWIW, the web site only needs to support French and English.

Thank you.
