The error message by FormFu is then whatever "form_constraint_equal" is i18n'ed to.  This is fine in the first step.

On the registration form I may want to say something like "Your passwords have to be equal" and on another form "Your email address has to be the same as ...".  The Equal constraint is only one example.

Hi,
Each constraint can override the error message with message_loc()
I'd suggest something like:

    elements:
      - type: Password
        name: password
          constraints:
            - type: Equal
              others: password_repeat
              message_loc: form_constraint_equal_password
      - type: Password
        name: password_repeat
