I totally agree.

And the next step is non-error messages intended to be seen by users.
The latter two require that we standardize exception types and messages,

Reminds me of an article of yore from The Perl Journal Localizing
Your Perl Programs http://interglacial.com/tpj/13/ which discusses
the reasoning behind Locale::Maketext
the point of which is that the values you're looking up should be

let you type
benedictum factori sic mori cis classum.

I should point out that I've had a great deal of coffee. The technical
details of what I've said are reasonable, but read the rest as off-the-cuff

It's also true that seeing how Perl 6 would look/work when re-cast in the

Another thing to consider is that Perl 6 is symbol-heavy: that is, keywords
are often symbols (such as , =, or $_) rather than words. AFAIK, those
symbols are not English, and I would not expect them to change under a
natural language transformation of the setting. And to elaborate on Aaron's
