Well, I guess errors should have numbers, and catalog explaining what error means what. That way userspace can translate, and it is what we do with errno. I believe numbers are best. If you hate numbers, you can still use strings, as long as you can enumerate them in docs (but it will be strange design). But anything else is not suitable, I'm afraid.
