--- Comment #2 from Frederic Marchal <fmarchal at perso dot be> ---
I do not concur with this request. If a message might be visible to the end
user, it is best to translate it.
If gcc outputs an English message in the middle of otherwise translated
messages such as
"import_iso_c_binding_module(): Unable to create symbol for %s",
it looks like the translator didn't do his job properly.
I translated the above message as
"import_iso_c_binding_module(): Impossible de créer le symbole pour %s"
The end user may have no clue as to what the message means but, at least,
he/she is insulted in his/her own language :-)
I suggest instead that internal messages be identified as such. Some other
messages begin with "Internal error". I would favor that solution for messages
not meant to the end user.
