Multilinugal error messages have now been implemented on the Wikimedia squids. I would like to thank everyone who helped to make this a reality over the past couple of weeks. I was keeping a running list of everyone who had helped, but I lost track of everyone :)
Here is an incomplete list of those in IRC who helped me with translations: taw, Mackowaty, WarX, SuiSui, aoineko, Submarine, Rama, Frieda, Quistnix, galwaygirl, Fenix, mnemo and avatar. Everyone's help has been greatly appreciated. :)
Particular thanks must go to fuddlemark for extensive Javascript help, and to Jeronim for implementing the new message across the squids.
Note that I have removed the link to OpenFacts.berlios.de, which was getting overloaded as soon as Wikipedia went down. I have also removed the link to the "offsite donation page" at Angela's request. The French, German and Japanese messages direct those people to that language's IRC channel.
I hope the community likes the new error page. Well, they'll probably hate seeing it, but I hope they feel comfort in the fact that it's now a much prettier error message.

Great work Mark, but could we see these error messages BEFORE there's an error? That is, do you have a preview page of these errors for the curious?
Cheers,

Hello,
Good job all. Maybe the Squid messages can be translated too ?
The french 404 show an english message: http://fr.wikipedia.org/this_is_404 :)

Squid's error messages have already been translated to a lot of languages, including French; see http://cvs.devel.squid-cache.org/viewcvs.py/squid/squid3/errors/ . But it seems that Squid can't send language which is appropriate to Accept-Language, but that one language must be set as default? If that is the case, maybe French servers could have French set...

Forgive me for butting in, but surely Accept-Language is irrelevant.
The message for FR.wikipedia.org should be "en FRancais". The message for CY.wikipedia.org should be in Welsh (sorry, don't know the Welsh for that :-).
Assuming there is at least one person for each ??.wikipedia.org who can type in the appropriate language, it must be possible to translate a minimal set of messages properly?
Yeah... would it be possible to have a client-side script to determine the proper error message based on the requested subdomain?
