Probably, yes. I don't really think that's the kind of thing gettext is
designed for. (Also, AIUI, using gettext would require that you actually
*install* monotone, so the translation files get put in the right place.
Probably not a nice thing to require for making automate work
correctly.)

Better to just have our errors include an error code and not rely on
translation machinery for that.
