On the other hand, if I were to get an English message in a program which I knew to be translated, that would also be grounds for reporting an error. Also if the user's program stops working, the user has a right (in a sense) to understand the error message. (It is not my impression that bug reports in different languages are common at all, but you may know better of course.)
