Just to add to this point. IF we did use JCOMPONENT_STANDARD_ERROR_WHATEVER which already had a translation in joomla.ini, I'm willing to bet almost no one would override them. 

Except for very special situations, I would think that more standardized messages in the administration area would be welcome. 

Personally, I spend most of my time trying to look more like a Joomla extension, so not having to copy the exact same "delete message" over to my ini would be a life saver. 

You could also get rid of all the duplication that (I know without looking) exists in the core supported extensions ini files. Isn't our favorite word around here DRY? O.k. so, I had to look and yep there it is, but each one has one word changed in it, so I guess we are technically DRY.

COM_BANNERS_BANNERS_N_ITEMS_ARCHIVED="%d banners successfully archived"
COM_WEBLINKS_WEBLINKS_N_ITEMS_ARCHIVED="%d weblinks successfully archived"
etc...

However I also found that weblinks overrides JGLOBAL_NEWITEMSLAST_DESC in the front-end. So we know it can be done, but we just choose to make it harder than it has to be for extension developers.
