Yes, but this would mean overriding EVERY message the kernel was likely to
give. I still think it's unreasonable to expect every message to be
translated to a target dialect at once. It should be permissable to
translate any messages you see fit to translate, and use the English
defaults for others. How could we implement this on a per-user basis?
Wouldn't that mean passing the kernel messages through a process attached
to the relevant tty, in order to distinguish which user we wanted to
translate for?
On the parameters side, couldn't we do it like vprintf does for printf? (By
this I mean use va_list and friends).
