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
