 > While it may kinda be true for experienced developers, don't forget that
 most of people writing code for their WordPress site are not experienced
 developers nor agencies: they are are mostly people writing code just
 because they are curious about how to put together their own personal
 website by themselves.
 > Sending error messages in their own language is something truly useful.

 I wholeheartedly agree with this. When I started working with WordPress,
 translated error messages were very helpful for me as a non-native
 speaker. From very early on, WordPress has been available in many
 languages. It's part of its success and well aligned with its mission to
 democratize publishing.

 In my opinion, not translating error messages does not align with this
 mission as it will actually cause more difficulties for some people.
