That's an interesting idea, but you also have to consider other stuff
not related to translation, like schemas of the tables in question.
Someone requested some time ago to schema-qualify the table name (or a
constraint name, I don't recall offhand) in an error message, but this
idea was shot down because if that person really wanted that info, what
he should be looking at is including extra info in machine-readable
format into errors instead of a kluge like that.
