XPages - Dojo Validation Text Box - Customize Message

When using a Dojo Validation Text Box, if I try to submit the XPage without entering any value into the Dojo validation Text Box, I see the message "This value is required". Is there any way of customizing this message? (I wish to have this message in another language)

You can define your customized message as a dojoAttribute:

<xe:djValidationTextBox
    id="djValidationTextBox1"
    value="#{viewScope.test}"
    required="true">
    <xe:this.dojoAttributes>
        <xp:dojoAttribute
            name="missingMessage"
            value="Your customized required message!">
        </xp:dojoAttribute>
    </xe:this.dojoAttributes>
</xe:djValidationTextBox>

I completely stopped using the built in validations once I found this script by White / Girrard / Valand / Mottolo: A Better Method For XPages SSJS Form Validation

It gives you the ability to react to any state of the input values and I prefer the centralised approach over tweaking inside the single controls themselves.
