<p>Mostly it doesn't matter because our own API errors are all in english I think and don't go through the translations but the errors that come from rails itself are getting translated.</p>

<p>I wonder if we just can't provide our own :too_long message in English instead? Will that work, i.e. not automatically getting translated by i18n anymore?</p>
