That is why we have error codes :)

Are you saying that Oracle is wrong giving the ability to localize even
SQL error messages? These does not have to ever happen, but in my
Italian team the guys are simply rocking - they find out instantly what
they did wrong to a query because it is in their language.

Sets the language to what you speak and you will develop faster wherever
you're coming from.

As of bug reports - as long as every error has its own error code
everyone in the world can find out what the error means. How different
is that from simply translating the documentation?
