In my view ICEs - messages that should never occur without a bug in the compiler, even if invalid asms, LTO binary data, etc., are passed to the compiler - are not useful to translate (and if internal_error is used in cases that do not indicate a bug in the compiler, that use of internal_error is itself a bug). The "internal compiler error" phrase and the bug reporting instructions should of course be translated, just not the main text of the ICE message. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40884
