I wonder if ignoring the locale is really that bad. After all, we print all the messages in English, without localisation. Printing the error description in other languages is arguably inconsistent. Hm, I guess. Maybe we can tackle respecting locale for the kernel library errors when/if we add localisation support for our own messages. As German who has a few systems with a German locale configured I prefer it when the locale is ignored in such cases. Getting a mixed English/German error text always looks wrong and I much rather have it only in English. But then again I understand English and these error messages well enough already so users who do not might feel differently.
