Hi!

Ajax is too advanced for this simple feature, IMO. Especially since
the rest of the BE does not use any Ajax, so a server side validation
should suffice (at least better than nothing).

The only thing I don't know how to do is the translation of the
error message when validation fails. Will look into it.
