Hi all,

Im looking to customize the validation error messages displayed by  
Rails. I took the code for error\_messages\_for from the Rails api docs  
and put it in my application\_helper to modify it but I get this error  
on it

uninitialized constant ApplicationHelper::I18n

Im on Rails 2.1.0 and I think there’s the problem.  
(Internationalization was not done pre- 2.2? ) Do correct me if im  
wrong.  
Where can I get the source code of error\_messages\_for that was used in  
Rails 2.1.0?  
Is there a way to view the source code of the rails installation i  
have on my local comp?
