True.

If you're generating a string that's going to third parties, that is
true.

If you're generating a string that goes back to the committer (for
example an error message) you'd want to use the locale of the
committer.

So the hook script should have available to it the locale of the
committer; that allows it to do things in that locale if that is the
right thing to do, and it also allows it to use some other locale.
