I'm localizing some property attributes in my MVC C# view models, but can't figure out how to fully localize the Compare atrribute. As you can see from the code below, I've localized the error message.
Here's the localized string (in English) for FieldMismatch:
The {0} field and {1} field don't match.
the {1} parameter maps to the field named "NewPassword" - the first parameter in the Compare attribute. That field's Display Name gets localized (in English) to New Password. (With a space in it.) However, the warning in my MVC app says the following:
The Confirm Password field and NewPassword field don't match.
Notice, NewPassword is showing the property name, not the localized Display Name. Any thoughts how I can display the localized Display Name?
Thanks, Smirnov, for the input. I tried the {2} fix and got a message the index must be less than the size of the argument list. I was just hoping to keep everything more generic, in case I had two other fields to compare later on. Seems to me if I can localize
everything else, there must be a way to localize that parameter. Oh well. I've wated way too much time on this already. I guess I'll have to use your suggestion to implement a clear text message. Thanks again!

I don't follow. How does this help me to localize the first parameter for Compare?

Try
The {0} field and {2} field don't match.Why not simply use a clear text message without {0} and {1}?
