When it comes to server software, log files are not just for developers.

In my experience, the first people who look at log files are operators
and users.  For non-English speakers, something as simple as the
absence of the word 'ERROR'  or 'WARNING' in a critical message can
mean the difference between a quick solution and hours of
troubleshooting.

I'm 100% in favor of localization of messages.  If anything more
formal is needed, then you can always use message ids and codes, but I
personally never found that useful.
