In my view ICEs - messages that should never occur without a bug in the 
compiler, even if invalid asms, LTO binary data, etc., are passed to the 
compiler - are not useful to translate (and if internal_error is used in 
cases that do not indicate a bug in the compiler, that use of 
internal_error is itself a bug).  The "internal compiler error" phrase and 
the bug reporting instructions should of course be translated, just not 
the main text of the ICE message.
