The Codex page [http://codex.wordpress.org/Files_For_Direct_Translation
Files for Direct Translation] lists all the core files that translators
have to edit directly for a complete localization.
These are mostly error messages in files that load before gettext is
initialized. Some of them are loaded before wp_config.php and therefore
can't tell yet what the proper locale is. One gets loaded when
wp_config.php is *missing*, so there is no way of knowing what the proper
locale is (this is discussed in ticket #6132).
A system needs to be put in place to allow localizing these strings
without editing core files, or at least of editing just one core file in a
specific location. This should be independent of the gettext system. For
e.g., a single file place in the root folder that sets these strings as
variables to be used in the various other files that need them.
