Just pragmatically, I'm afraid. I was going to suggest a short test program
that ran through the error no's but that just covers english, and if you're 
really determined, a small number of other languages. I expect that
most languages will use short standard phrases but I have seen a few
pathological translations (not from the computer field) that were wildly 
different in length. Maybe Bill Kendrick could comment as his Tuxpaint
is supported for a large number of languages.
