Hi,
Really the place for this discussion is gconf-list(a)gnome.org;
there's nothing Red Hat specific about it.
The translators would generally say that all strings should be
translatable. Though I think gconf has a bunch of strings that don't
even make sense in English.
Perhaps the issue is that the encoding of the syslog needs to be
defined and gconfd needs to output in that encoding.
It's also pretty possible the log messages should simply not exist.
