No. The error messages have been translated otherwise the test suite fails.

Hmmm... I don't remember this discussion. I don't think it's too late to
backtrack the error messages changes. I'm not sure it has no value, though.
I know that I've had system setups where part of the interface is English
and the rest is French. There is a "surprising" disconnect when you're
constantly working in French and all of a sudden an English message pops up.
It's even worse when part of the message is in English and the rest is in
French. It's not crucial or anything but it does give one a "weird" feeling.
I'm not sure how to describe it.
