What do they think will happen when someone who doesn't know english 
tries to send to a user of such a system that outputs english error 
mesages that directs the sender to web pages with english instructions?

One possibility is, it could just spit out a url, with no other text, 
and assume that the sender will understand that they're intended to view 
the URL to find out why the message was rejected.

If the site which rejected the message is multi-lingual, then they can 
have the resulting webpage offer multiple translations.

If they're not multi-lingual, and only speak english, then there wasn't 
any point in the non-english speaker trying to contact them, was there? :-)


Though, I would also point out that it seems most such error messages 
are in english anyway.  But there's no necessity, in what's been 
described so far, that the web page the URL leads to would be english only.
