No, not in the existing function. That is a breaking change to api users.
UI clients usually don't want to show things in the same way as 'svn'. They
might want to show it in different ways or want to include only parts of the
error if they recognize the error code. And if you go this way this is
impossible due to localization.
This sort of formatting belongs in svn_cmdline if it is shared between
commandline clients, not in the lower layers of the error api.
-----------
I don't see why '_("E%06d: %s"),' should be localized. I don't think it
really can be with just this string.
