I seem to recall that translation of kernel messages was deprecated
because it will result in much strange bug reports the developers
can't parse anymore.

Even though I'm also working on l10n issues (web pages, documentation,
manpages, news) I would like to ask people not to translate kernel
strings.

If I misunderstood your intentions, please be more verbose.
