"Math" does not need to be localized in a lot of places, but exception messages should be localized. This is a common thing that people miss. If i am in italy, using this product, i would expect the exception messages be in Italian, not English. So, in general the support for additional locales should be there in any api product for ANY strings it uses which might show up on a ui screen or the console.
