In response to the first part:
Yes, it is that much of a performance hog. Just a little bit of text isn't that bad, but when you multiply it times hundreds of thousands of visitors, it gets to be significant.
In response to the second part: I would imagine that this sort of thing would take up more bandwidth as well.
However I don't know how much bandwidth either would take up - it may not be too much.

Hi,
Why not include all languages that would translate the error message? Is it really that much of a performance hog?
Could also maybe a rewrite role be applied for example when someone tries to reach
sk.wikipedia.org he would get sk.wikipedia.org/?lang=sk and so on for other langs with fall back to en
just a thought
