Thats not really a bug, adding translation support for such compiler
messages in code that tries to parse that output is insane (at least
without the compiler offering a way to backtranslate its messages). In
KDevelop3 we're having the same problem and there you have the choice of
either getting nicely formatted (and shortened) compiler output or
translated messages, but not both at the same time.
