It occurred to me that i18n may provide a means of handling this
directly; I don't know for sure, but one of the library developers could
probably comment.  IIRC, i18n uses (or can use) "lazy translation",
where it keeps around the original message but only translates it on
output.  If that's the case, that may help provide a solution to
translate user-visible messages while leaving logs untranslated.
