I actually don't think it will be a big issue for them.
They already translate messages by mapping text to other
text. The same thing could be done for kernel messages,
by just marking them in the kernel somehow that they
can be automatically extracted from the source and then
later mapping them to the translations in user space.
But I wouldn't do it until someone actually complains
about it.
