If done client side, it means that all clients have to be updated to get
the new server messages translated for every new server message.  That
takes even longer.

That limits users from making their own translations of BOINC and testing
them beforehand without having to set up their own server though. It also
means that if an error is found in the translation, the user has to wait
for all his projects to update their server code before it is fixed. As
we've in security fixes, that can take a while for some projects.
