Support localization of custom error messages for parameter validation attributes #3765
Description
Now that at least some of the custom error messages for parameter validation attributes support custom error messages - see #3745, it should be possible to support localization of these error messages - currently, only literal strings are supported.
Without this ability, localized scripts are effectively prevented from using such validation attributes.
What currently works:
function foo {
param(
[ValidatePattern('o', ErrorMessage = 'Must have an "o".')]
$bar
)
$bar
}
foo -bar bazThis yields:
foo : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'bar'. Must have an "o".
What support for localization might look like (not sure about feasibility; solely based on noticing that some attributes accept script blocks):
$stringTable = DATA {
@{
msg = 'Must have an "o".'
}
}
function foo {
param(
[ValidatePattern('o', ErrorMessage = { $stringTable.msg })]
$bar
)
$bar
}
foo -bar bazEnvironment data

Michael Klement (@mklement0) I only point that everybody can contribute and do not wait.
For the issue a solution was mentioned in #3765 (comment)

Thanks, Ilya (@iSazonov) - coming back here I'd forgotten that this issue is about enabling localization of a user-supplied message, not about localizing PowerShell's own messages (which is what #666 is about).
