The OpenLiberty application server uses Hibernate Validator and provides translated messages in 15 languages, 6 of which are new languages not currently supported by Hibernate Validator.

If the Hibernate community is interested, we (OpenLiberty) would like to contribute the new language translations back to the original Hibernate Validator project.

The new languages are:

• Italian (it)
• Japanese (ja)
• Polish (pl)
• Romanian (ro)
• Chinese (Simplified) (zh)
• Chinese (Traditional) (zh_TW)
