How to translate the error messages for Joomla 2.5

Contact Enhanced for Joomla 1.6 up to Joomla 2.5 uses MooTools for the validation script. The translation for the error messages (for some languages, see language codes) are in the MooTools javascript files:

[Path to Joomla 1.6+]/media/system/js/mootools-core.js
[Path to Joomla 1.6+]/media/system/js/mootools-more.js

Current languages in MooTools language files:

ar-AA, ca-CA, ca-ES, cs-CZ, da-DK, de-DE, en-US, en-UK, en-AU, es-AR, es-ES, et-EE, fa-IR, fi-FI, fr-FR, he-IL, hu-HU, it-IT, ja-JP, nl-NL, nl-BE, no-NO, pl-PL, pt-BR, pt-PT, ru-RU, si-SI, sv-SE, tr-TR, uk-UA, zh-CN, zh-TW

If it is not translated into your language, open this file:

[Path to Joomla 1.6+]/components/com_contactenhanced/assets/js/mootools-languages/locale.en-US.js

and copy to:

[Path to Joomla 1.6+]/components/com_contactenhanced/assets/js/mootools-languages/locale.language-CODE.js where language-CODE follows this convention [language-code]-[COUNTRY-CODE]. (see a list with the most common COUNTRY-CODE)

Then Translate all content of the file  inside single quotes, except for the strings 'Date', 'Number' and 'FormValidator'.
