I’m struggling to figure out how I need to structure my I18n YML file in order for custom array rule keys to be picked up. For example:

```auto
params do
  required(:people).filled(:array)
end

rule(:people).each do
   key.failure(:invalid_person) if person_invalid?
end

```

I tried to structure my I18n file as such (with all the correct namespaces and backends configured in the contract of course):

```auto
en:
  dry_validations:
    errors:
      my_contract:
        rules:
          people:
            invalid_person: 'Something'

```

but I get an error that dry-validation can’t find the `invalid_person` key under `people.0`. I can make it work by moving the `invalid_person` key directly under `my_contract` (I guess relying on fallback behaviour), but it doesn’t seem quite right.

Any help would be appreciated!

This works:

```auto
en:
  dry_validation:
    errors:
      my_contract:
        invalid_person: 'Something'

```

Custom errors are looked up directly under `:errors` key, including namespaced errors. Customized errors per key (`:people` in this case) is not supported yet. You could report an issue about this, actually.
