I don't think thats true:

[mclasen at localhost gtk]$ grep "conflicts with"
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/*.py
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py:        msg = '%s
conflicts with %s' % (name, conf)
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py:                msg =
'Package %s conflicts with %s.' % \

I think what we'll probably have to do to get acceptable error messages is to
filter out things that look more like debug information:

ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve
Please report this error in bugzilla

and for the remaining meaningful messages like

Package otherapp conflicts with someapp

match which template they came from (in this case, "Package %s
conflicts with %s")
and replace it with a translated version.
