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.
