Yeah. The other point is that translated versions of those phrases are
likely to introduce randomly diverging terms, which is not going to help
with debugging. As long as the technology is new enough that a user is
going to need help from -hackers (or at least someone who read and
grokked README.SSI) to debug a problem, there's no benefit to
translating those errdetails.
