 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.
