Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

I am sympathetic with non-English speakers wanting a native-language 
translation. But I think the interpreter should *always* emit the standard 
message and that any translation should be an addition, not a replacement. This 
would maintain discoverablity and help people learn the English version, not 
hinder it.

The real question to me is how deep in the interpreter such support should go. 
Third party shells can (and sometimes do) intercept tracebacks and reformat 
(and translate) as they wish. But there would be advantages and disadvanteges 
is adding the translation sooner.
