So in the case if you are in germany you will never get thai etc.

you got me wrong: We are in developing in germany, our customers are running our software in Thailand (or wherever). Hence we will get error messages that are not helpful at all for our engineers.

Note from the Class ResourceBundle API:

Resource bundles contain locale-specific objects. When your program needs a 
locale-specific resource, a String for example, your program can load it from 
the resource bundle that is appropriate for the current user's locale.


That is the point. For GUIs the current user's locale ist exactly what you want. For logfiles, it's exactly *not* what you want, unless your developer/support team speaks each customer's language. For us (and I assume most globally active software vendors?) this is not the case.

Regards,
Lars
