You will need to add a `messages` folder to your theme, with a `messages_en.py` file that contains the new messages. You can see the built-in messages_en.py for reference: https://github.com/getnikola/nikola/blob/master/nikola/data/themes/base/messages/messages_en.py (You shouldn’t need all the strings in your copy, just the ones required by the plugin).
You can alternatively modify the template for your sidebar not to use translated strings.
