No. Not in Romania. Most of the users start their programs from a GUI
interface, so they don't see the console messages anyway. People that
use a terminal to start a GUI program are highly unlikely to use the
localized interface here in Romania. English is very popular here and
power users think that it's odd and unproductive to use a localized
interface.

Sure. But I'd like to be spared... :)
