I think the error messages are sufficient. You will get error
messages about unbound variables, wrong number/type of arguments,
division by zero and things like that.

Currently, Guile does not bother with i18n at all. There were
discussions and plans about supporting multibyte strings internally a
while ago, but I think so far there was no consensus about how to
handle things like that. Error messages are not localized at all.
