Codeigniter custom validation message?

Question

I want to display validation message in "arabic" so i used:

$this->form_validation->set_message('required','my message');

but this will return "my message" only.

is there a way to add label for each field within my message so it's look like.

label "my message"

example:

<input type="text" name="field1">
<input type="text" name="field2">

output:

field1 my message
field2 my message

This is in the user guide;

If you include %s in your error string, it will be replaced with the "human" name you used for your field when you set your rules.

You would change your code, to this;

$this->form_validation->set_message('required','%s my message');

This would then use the name of the filed, you set in the validation rules.

Or, you could translate the field names;
