Why? This is multilingual support for users, not developers. Developers
get many English form-letters, not to mention English bug reports.

Then you should have been here for the lengthy discussion on the subject.
grisu provided lengthy (if not always persuasive) explanations for why
it's being done this way, and there were many discussions on the
