no, rob is right. _core_ textual error messages are extensable
and loss of information is unacceptable.  send along the, say
english, text and crytpographically hash it and then look up
the hash in your table for whatever the language is you
wanna translate it into.

if you get a miss, examine the english text and add in
a new message (by hand).
