Title:
  Not all strings should be translatable

Status in “libusermetrics” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Right now it seems that all strings in the library were marked as
  translatable. This is incorrect, as only user facing strings should be
  translatable.

  Error messages that are meant to go into a log file only (as opposed
  as to being displayed to the user screen) should not be marked as
  translatable.

  Most importantly strings like "DATA_SOURCE_ID FORMAT_STRING
  EMPTY_DATA_STRING USERNAME [AMOUNT]" will break things in the library
  if they are translated, and should be left as plain strings.
