RE: Zend_Input_Filter (Zend_Validate) custom error messages

You can use $input->getErrors() instead of
$input->getMessages().  The
validator getErrors() method returns language-independent
values for the
type of validation failure.  These are actually the const
identifiers
you list below.

Then you can map that to application error message in any
way you want.
Maybe in your application, the type of error is not
significant, and any
case that makes isValid() return false should map to a
single error
message, as you describe.

Another solution would be to extend Zend_Validate_Hostname
as
Croatian_Validate_Hostname, and override the message
definition with
translated strings.  Then add "Croatian_Validate"
as a namespace for
Zend_Filter_Input, so it finds a custom validator class (if
it exists)
before it finds Zend_Validate_Hostname.
