The accepted answer does not work for Select2 v4. Expanding on the comment by #IsaacKleinman, the way to override the default messages for an individual Select2 instance is through the language property:
var opts = {
language: {
inputTooShort: function(args) {
// args.minimum is the minimum required length
// args.input is the user-typed text
return "Type more stuff";
},
inputTooLong: function(args) {
// args.maximum is the maximum allowed length
// args.input is the user-typed text
return "You typed too much";
},
errorLoading: function() {
return "Error loading results";
},
loadingMore: function() {
return "Loading more results";
},
noResults: function() {
return "No results found";
},
searching: function() {
return "Searching...";
},
maximumSelected: function(args) {
// args.maximum is the maximum number of items the user may select
return "Error loading results";
}
}
};
$('#mySelect').select2(opts);
To override the functions globally, call the set function on the defaults (according to the docs):
$.fn.select2.defaults.set("key", "value")
However, in our code we do it like this:
$.fn.select2.defaults.defaults['language'].searching = function(){
return 'Custom searching message'
};
I don't know why we don't follow the docs, but it works.

Solution
Here is the solution that i have found out.
Prior to v4
Initialize
$("input[name='cont_responsible'],input[name='corr_responsible'],input[name='prev_responsible'],input[name='pfmea_responsible']").select2({
minimumInputLength: 1,
formatInputTooShort: function () {
return "Enter 1 Character";
},
});
Note
Do not forget to add this code in your document. ready function.
$(document).ready(function () {
});
I shared my solution, any better solutions are welcome.
Thanks.
Using v4 and onwards
The following worked for V4. #Isaac Kleinman
language: { inputTooShort: function () { return ''; } },

Answer 4

If you are using django-select2, just add attributes to your form in forms.py:
widget=BookSelect2Widget(
attrs={'data-minimum-input-length': 1}
)

Answer 5

Override the function behaviour like below
$.fn.select2.defaults = $.extend($.fn.select2.defaults, {
formatMatches: function(matches) {
return matches + $filter('translate')('label.matches.found');
},
formatNoMatches: function() {
return $filter('translate')('noMatches.found');
},
formatInputTooShort: function(input, min) {
var n = min - input.length;
return $filter('translate')('label.please.enter ') + n + $filter('translate')(' more.characters') + (n == 1 ? "" : "s");
},
formatInputTooLong: function(input, max) {
var n = input.length - max;
return $filter('translate')('please.delete ') + n + $filter('translate')('')('delete.characters') + (n == 1 ? "" : "s");
},
formatSelectionTooBig: function(limit) {
return $filter('translate')('select.only') + limit + $filter('translate')('select.item ') + (limit == 1 ? "" : "s");
},
formatLoadMore: function(pageNumber) {
return $filter('translate')('load.results');
},
formatSearching: function() {
return $filter('translate')('label.search');
}
});
}
