It may sound silly and stupid: My coworker has had much trouble because
he doesn't know English at all.
You could help those people very much by creating a git-translator.org
page where you can copy paste failures which are translated only.

In the end you must have seen any failure multiple times to cope with
it - no matter which language this message was written in. However
having an understandable text may help.
