All those strings should already be translated. They're defined in django/forms/fields.py and you can see they're all marked for translation. So providing you are using the LocaleMiddleware (or some other way of setting the locale), the messages will appear naturally in the active locale for each viewer. If you want to replace/change the messages entirely, you need to replace them on the instances of the field classes. This would require some poking about under the hood for ModelForms, but should be possible. For normal forms, you can pass in an error_messages dictionary when you specify the form field that controls the messages. Again, have a look at django/forms/fields.py for how the default setup is done.
