I think all messages should be translated, because it would benefit 
non-English speakers even more (and allow them to solve their own problems, 
instead of forcing them to ask for help.)

I think it would be a good idea however to give each error/warning/etc. a 
number or some sort of ID code which is always printed and never translated, 
so if someone asks for help and the error messages are in another language 
all you need to do is look up the ID code to find out what the message is in 
your own language.

Alternatively you could print the localised message followed by the English 
equivalent in brackets, but I don't think that's as 'nice' a solution as the 
other one.  I'm assuming the reason you didn't want to translate these 
messages was because it would be difficult to help people if you can't read 
the error message yourself?

Cheers,
Adam.
