I took a look at the patch, and it doesn't deal with error messages at all.
All it seems to do is load in a different set of default configuration
attributes based on the language - all of these can already be redefined
in htdig.conf.
The error messages aren't a big problem, though, because they're only seen
by the person setting up and running ht://Dig. All the messages that the
end-user sees, from the CGI output, can be changed by configuration
attributes.

Yes. See the following:
http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#method_names
http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#template_map
http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#sort_names
You redefine these attributes in LangSK.cc. The same redefinitions could
be done in your config file.

Well, I don't think you are stupid or dumb at all. Your patch would work
fine, it seems to me, but I don't see it as necessary. Any configuration
attribute can be changed in your config file. You don't need to change them
in the C++ code. I think that's all you overlooked. An honest mistake,
really. There's a lot of code to learn all at once, and the documentation
isn't always as clear as it could be, so it's not easy to figure out what
configuration options you need to tweek to do what you want.
There's another problem with your patch: if you do define the new "language"
attribute in htdig.conf as "sk", then the compiled-in values for these
attributes will override anything you use in your htdig.conf, so you won't
be able to change them:
{"method_names", "and v�etky or ktor�ko�vek boolean 'logick�
v�raz'"},
{"no_excerpt_text", "<em>(�iadne h�adan� slov� neboli n�jden� v
�vodnej �asti tohto dokumentu.)</em>"},
{"page_list_header", "<hr noshade size=2>Strany:<br>"},
{"sort_names", "score sk�re time �asu title titulku revscore
'sk�re (obr�tene)' revtime '�asu (obr�tene)' revtitle 'titulku (obr�tene)'"},
{"template_map", "dlh� builtin-long builtin-long kr�tky
builtin-short builtin-short"},
