At the cost of i18n etc?
The Junos UI is totally data driven, syntax is verified term by term
(since depending on your permissions some terms simply do not exist for
you).   Such a model cannot be successfully translated to other
languages where the order of verbs and nouns differ for example.

Everything I've read on the topic suggests that messages must be
translated on at least phrase if not sentence granularity for reasonable
results, and that just doesn't fit our UI.
Thus enhancement requests for i18n are politely rejected.
