* RuleForEach can now access collection index in error message with {CollectionIndex} placeholder.
* Welsh language translations of default error messages.
* Hungrian language translations of default error messages.
* Indonesian language translations of default error messages.
* Using RuleForEach combined with When is now more intuitive.
* Fixed order of rule execution when using async validation.

Changes in 8.4.0:

* ScalePrecisionValidator now has a public method in the fluent interface.
* Fix placeholder names in ScalePrecisionValidator for consistency.

* Minor wording changes to default English error messages.
* Japanese translation of the default error messages.
* Added Skip property to MVC5's CustomizeValidatorAttribute for parity with AspNetCore and WebApi.
