8913	"Make the ""must be unique"" error messages in ModelForms customizable"	Alexander_Nesterov	Leah Culver	"feature request (?)[[BR]]
model:
{{{
class Context(models.Model): 
    name        = models.CharField(unique=True)
}}}
form:
{{{
class ContextForm(forms.ModelForm): 
    name = forms.CharField() 
    class Meta: 
        model = Context
}}}
example:
{{{
form = ContextForm(request.POST)  
if form.is_valid(): 
    form.save()
}}}
Is there any way to override an error message of ''validate_unique'': u""%(model_name)s with this %(field_label)s already exists.""?
