Parent article:
Time to internationalize the kernel?
I hate to reply to myself, but there's something I should have mentioned.
Although the article mentions massive numbers of kernel error messages being "affected" in recent kernels, I'm not convinced that this means that the text of kernel messages changes regularly. Even if "affected" means that text was changed, remember that there was a lot of patching related to cleaning up spelling/grammatical errors in the kernel recently (The sort of thing probably won't happen again anytime soon). I'll have look at those patches when I have the time to see what exactly went on. In the meantime, I'm still not convinced that kernel error messages change so much from patch to patch.
