Localizing WordPress is very important and good; however, IMO it doesn't
make sense for the error messages emitted by `_doing_it_wrong()` to be
translated. This is because when you have a developer-facing error message
one of the primary uses is to copy-paste it to search for what to do about
it. Our messages are pretty human-friendly but it still seems like extra
work for a net-negative outcome.
If we really want them to be translated in UI, then I would suggest that
the message show in both the localized version as well as the non-
localized (English) one.
