Haven't been able to respond sooner, but maybe one thing was not so clear about what I wrote since you misrepresented it here. What I was referring to was this scenario: ImportError: No module named blah would become in nl_NL something like: ImportError: Geen module genaamd blah Now, if ImportError (or any other error) has only one text, then I could copy-paste that error message easily and people would understand contextually from the error which it is, despite the localization. However, if there's multiple possible messages, how is someone else supposed to figure out what my localized message means in order to help me out? In this case I think an approach with a number inventory system works out well, e.g.: ImportError (3): Geen module genaamd blah And the 3 would be a stable number for this particular message.
