 The application's `MessageSource` is used when resolving `+{parameters}+` in constraint messages.
 This allows you to use <<features.adoc#features.internationalization,your application's `messages.properties` files>> for Bean Validation messages.
 Once the parameters have been resolved, message interpolation is completed using Bean Validation's default interpolator.
