I agree with that.
Long time ago some russian people translated interbase.msg into
russian.
But the work done was nearly useless, and definitely not popular.

As you said, errors from firebird.msg understandable by developers,
not users. For example, what purpose of localized
"foreign key violation" error, if user anyway do not understand
what is "foreign key" in any language?

Yes, translation can be helpful (a bit) for developers who do not know
english, but from the other POV it will make harder to ask
english-speaking community about particular error meaning.
Translation usually can't be done with 100% equality from one language
to another. So, double translated messages can loose their meaning.

Anyway, as Dmitry Sibiryakov suggested, translation can be done
with Firebird sources.
