This is an argument like:
The English "to realise" means "realisieren" in German because
the word "realisieren" exists in German.
In fact, you are right with "validieren":
wahr -- verifizieren
falsch -- falsifizieren
gültig -- validieren
but "(in)valid" is still "(un)gültig" in German.

The German version

has been translated from the original English version
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator.html.en
Latin and Sanskrit translations of the CSS validator are yet to come.

The combined forces of pupils and amateurs have flooded the wikis
with mistranslations and other mischief. And now the combined forces
of pupils and amateurs take the wikis as proof that they are right.

Quite right! The word "(in)valid" is properly used in a medical sense
in the German language:
The "Invaliden" came back from Stalingrad. ;-)
Amateurish translators like Bornémann made James Bond hunt for silicone
chips in German cinemas.
