asp.net mvc override validation message

Question

I am working with asp.net mvc 5 and want to change validation message text. For example,

[Required]
public string name{ get; set; }

I give required validation and the error message appears as : 'The name field is required.' but i want change 'something my text' for all required validations.

I can do this as

[Required (ErrorMessage="something my text")]

but i don't want repeat this for each parameter.

I have a simple proposition if you are that much willing to use Required attribute with custom error message then why not use HTML 5 instead for example

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.name, 
new { @class = "form-control", placeholder = "name", required="Name is required"})

Other way that I've used In MVC5 is something like this

    [Required]
    [StringLength(100, ErrorMessage = "The {0} must be at least {8}      characters long.", MinimumLength = 6)]
    [Display(Name = "User Name")]
    public string UserName{ get; set; }

I hope this helps in any way
