Description

At the time email-validator does not support other languages in its error messages.
This leads us to check for the error messages and then replace them with our own messages which can be translated.
This is just a hacky solution which is causing trouble, like in the newest version where some messages has changed.

We need this messages in English and German. But i think developers of other countries would love to see the error messages an their language as well :).

If needed I will assist you on this task to translate to German.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the email-validator error-message definitions and any existing translation or language-handling code. Done should include English and German messages without requiring callers to replace library errors, with a clear path for adding other languages.
