So it turns out all the demo files in KiCad are also affected by the
translated layer name mess.

They all more or less have the french layer names. So none of them
load as of bzr 6292 in pcbnew.



So ignoring that issue for a moment, is there any reason why we cannot
add a more friendly error message? Like

"Layer name is unknown to KiCad, please see XXX in documentation" or
something? Not sue what exactly but would help as I see it being a big
issue with people upgrading.
