[1] for example reads like this in Dutch:
3 aug 2012 09:47 MarcoAurelio (Overleg | bijdragen) heeft de status voor de globale gebruiker User:Kanakane28@global gewijzigd. Ingesteld: *locked*; verwijderd: *(none)* (Spam-only account: spambot)
Texts within *these areas*, marked by me, could be localised. This requires updating the logging of CentralAuth, keeping BC in place.
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resolved | Umherirrender | T26156 Messages of log entries should support GENDER | |||
| Resolved | None | T23716 Log entries assume sentence starts with username | |||
| Open | None | T26620 Log entries are difficult to localize; convert old style logs to the new code | |||
| Duplicate | None | T113149 CentralAuth log messages need improvement | |||
| Open | None | T41045 Incomplete i18n for log entries in CentralAuth |
These texts are localised by translatewiki.net (e.g. centralauth-log-status-locked) but the code uses wfMsgForContent(...) when create the log entry.
It is not much work to change the code but I think the author has made his thoughts about using wfMsgForContent() instead of wfMsg(). Should we change this?

That would log in the performer's user language and make even more o a mess, as the log entries would display in multiple languages.
The information should be stored in extra parameters for the log entry, and i18ned when displaying it (as opposed to save time).

Per Siebrand. That happened in the past and was a complete dissaster. CentralAuth logs showed in the language of the performer. Please don't do that.

Maybe the changes in [[gerrit:38137]] can help here?
It won't hurt, but doesn't solve. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Logging_to_Special:Log#1.19_and_later needs to be applied.
