Translating error messages: Ok. What about a french version of the infamous
"bad magic number".
/* End of text from net.internat */

I'd say one should take advantage of the opportunity and do a French version
of what the error message should have been all along, i.e. something like
"not a .o file for this processor."  If one of the results of international-
ization is the elimination of cretinous messages like "bad magic number,"
it deserves support from even the most isolationist of users.
