How to handle if the line no is changed?
I think one advantage to use message id is that the message id is easy to
track,
in different languages and in different versions (maybe).
So I would prefer to keep consistency among different versions.

Also, if the number has a project name as the prefix, it is useful too.

As I know, Oslo provides a way to configure the locale language used in
log files, and both (English and locale language).
I don't hear that they are going to return REST API messages in both
languages.
