I like the idea of using the OS local language as there are many many many
users who are not native English speakers. That being said, its probably
better to standardize on something and if English is the standard that is
already being used, I say we stick to that.
I think that English is widely hard-coded in Exception messages more
because of "developer laziness" than standards. For example the JavaDB
(a.k.a. Derby) exception messages are localized using the OS local language.
That said, maybe we don't need to ask anyone to localize their exception
messages. Some exceptions are more likely to be see by users than
others. For example I think there is no point in localizing
AssertionError message. On the other hand ParseException messages are
more likely to be show to user when parsing user input in a GUI text
field for instance...
