I wonder how much of that comes under the sad category of "better not
translated".  If an English speaker has to resort to search engines to
understand, let alone fix, a reported problem, it may be better for a
non-English speaker to search for the error message in English, and then
with luck he may find a solution he can understand.  In a related vein,
one hears reports of people using English as the interface language,
because they can't understand the messages allegedly in their native
language.
