We were going to try and standardize output messages to:

  METRIC STATUS: Information text

In which case, I thought we should translate "METRIC", "STATUS", and 
"Information text" separately (especially as the information text may 
be generated - eg check_disk outputs different filesystem stats).

Are you saying that it is best to leave it as "METRIC STATUS: 
Information text" because some languages would translate into "STATUS 
METRIC: Information text"?

Is this something you run when required, or should it be added to 
tools/setup?
