I disagree strongly with the whole concept of localized exception
messages. Localization for users yes, but developers no.

IMO, a localized application actually means localization for users, and
implies nothing for developers.
Adding localized error messages is another place for the application to
go wrong, so you're going to have to test this fully. After all, if you
get it wrong, you could lose the real exception and just get a
meaningless failed to localize exception. And thats a terrible outcome.
For the record, I would -1 any code commit to add localized error
messages to a component I actively commit to.
