Well, let me put it like this:
(1) To parse something you need to make assumptions about the syntax of
the text you're trying to parse;
(2) Translations break most (if not all) assumptions about the syntax of
the translated text.
You could, of course, try to "undo" the translation before parsing
error messages, perhaps based on the .po files of the application
producing the errors. This would stand some chances to work for
applications that create error through a centralized set of functions,
and would break horribly for applications that produce ad-hoc errors.
And then there are exceptions, and stack traces from third-party
libraries. But if you manage to do it, it would be user-friendly. :)
