The radio elements do not have an id, and even if they did this would
turn all messages off, the idea is to leave only one.
It would be easy with jQuery, something like:
$("div#language__error").each(function() {$(this).hide();});
$("div#language__error").last().show();
where "language" is the radio field name in this case.
