Hm. It seems like Nico's suggested approach is a much simpler change
than what you're suggesting, and they both have weaknesses of roughly
equal magnitude. (Nico's fails when the server doesn't have a language
file for your language; yours fails when the client doesn't know about
the particular error generated by the server.)
