Oliver,

I'm not saying that the messages aren't in English; I'm saying that the
messages don't *only* have to be in English on the output. The message
in the kernel could remain as is, but the output kernel message would be
tailored in the default language of the user's machine, so for example a
Spanish administrator or developer wouldn't need to know English to read
the kernel output. I don't think we can assume that all
administrators/users or developers have English as their primary language.

Regards,
Frank
