Emmanuel,
I agree with you for chosing the "more human way" !

By the way, my version is also the google translate's one : https://translate.google.fr/?hl=fr#en/fr/must%20be%20less%20than%20or%20equal%20to
I don't mean that this is the best.

However, there's a case where I find your version inexact.
Let's say I use this constraint :

@Min(value = 1)
int value;

If value is set to 0, after validation, I got this (interpolated) message :

"doit être plus grand que 1"

I think the user may misunderstand if value '1' is valid or not (inclusive or exclusive ?)
