Hi (again),
Here I'm almost done with the killer form I have built with the plugin. The only thing I want to fix is the text a user get when there is an error in a form she submitted :
There was a problem with your submission. Errors have been highlighted below.
Any chance I can customize it?
Thanks,

Hello Adrien,
Right now it is possible to customize the validation message on a field but I do not believe it is possible to change the primary validation error message that you referenced above. This is a localized string so that it can be translated when the plugin is translated.
I will check to see if there is a hook that can be leveraged to change this programatically. We can look into making it customizable in a future release.
Is there an update on this issue?
Thank you.
I have added a hook for the validation message that will allow you to change it. But that will only go out on 1.3.9. Probably a couple of weeks away.
Meanwhile, you can use jQuery to change the message.
Note: This snippet requires that the jQuery library is already loaded in your theme to function properly.
Also, you will need to replace 21 (in #gform_21) with your actual form id
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(
function() {
jQuery("#gform_21 .validation_error").html("My new validation message");
}
);
</script>
