For me this is (was) a single case: Some messages are shown in German
and some in English. Now we know that there seem to be different
causes but (for me) this wasn't obvious at the beginning of this thread.

I think you are right. The problem occurs with all messages that are
generated by the subersion server. When I start the Subversion server
after setting LANG to 'fr' there I get the server messages in French.

If the server was able to translate the message according to a parameter
it receives from the client, the client should be able to translate the
message before printing it, too.
