I knew I would get bitten by not having been consistent.

My vision had been that things that could reasonably happen in normal 
operation (network down, wrong file name, etc.) should be translated. 
Things that are actual bugs or things that usually shouldn't happen 
(running out of memory) should stay in English.

I bet this is not what we have consistently.

I just don't want to ask the translators to translate things that we'd 
expect to never show a user, and that would then make it harder for us to 
debug problems / understand bug reports.

I already struggle when we get reports where the users refer to localized 
menu names or use other localized terms...
