[josm-dev] Localization of exception messages

[Matthias Julius]

I noticed that some exceptions get localized messages like this one:

  IllegalArgumentException(tr("Parameter ''{0}'' must not be null.", "tags"))

Does this really help anyone?  Those messages are intended to be for
developers and users probably won't know what to do even with the best
translation.  On top of that most of the developers won't understand
most of the localized messages (I understand only a very small subset
of them) which is making it harder to understand bug reports.

I would vote for removing those lokalizations.  I don't know how many
there are but this will also reduce the load on translators and the
size of the language files a bit.

Other opinions?
