Tracebacks where an error message is returned to the user (e.g. from an
auditor Reject exception) have probably never worked. This would require
something like

raise (_ (...))

Which the code simply doesn't do.

When raising a Reject exception in a detector (auditor) the code before
the recent changes did not provide a simple mechanism for translating
Reject execptions.

And all the other exceptions also do not translate their error message.

So to find out if translation works for the mail GW a test with another
message would be better. Has someone recently tried to get a localized
help-text (by sending a message with the subject "help" to the tracker)?

Unfortunately although living in a country where localized messages for
the mail GW would make sense I'm currently not running a tracker with
localization.
