To completely replace HTML::FormFu's own I18N files - see localize_class()
http://search.cpan.org/~cfranks/HTML-FormFu-0.05000/lib/HTML/FormFu.pm#localize_class

To supplement it, see the methods in HTML::FormFu::Localize -
unfortunately they're not documented, and not very well tested.
You'll probably want either add_localize_object() or
add_localize_object_from_class() to set it in a config file.

That's an array of 3 items - each of which should be an individual constraint.
The first will fail because it doesn't define a 'type'
Did you mean this... ?

    constraints:
      - Required
      - type: Email
        message_loc: wrongemail

Which is equivalent to:

    $field->constraint( 'Required' );

    $field->constraint( {
      type => 'Email',
      message_loc => 'wrongemail',
      } );
