    Providing the viewer is translating the originals always exist. Indeed
    you can do

    LANG=es view-logs
    LANG=ru view-logs
    ...

    You can have sysadmins with no common language("not a recommended
    configuration" ;))

    You are right about needing to log parameters, but given a log line
    of the form

    %s: went up in flames\n\0eth0\0\0

    that can be handled by the log viewer
