The one thing I consistently use log messages for is googling. If
everyone in the world gets the same log message for a given error, that
drastically increases the chances that I'll find that log message in a
forum post someplace. Doesn't localizing log messages fragment the
world of support forums into a zillion language-specific shards? (Full
disclosure: I speak English, so this argument may be an unconscious
front for Yankee Imperialism.)
