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.
