I do.  Thanks Erwan!

Any error message in French is instantly mysterious, exotic, and
possibly delicious.

Erreur de réadressage -- sounds like some sort of rich salad dressing.
Symbole référencé introuvable -- one of the slogans of the French revolution?
Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type -- probably an opera or ballet
Permission non accordée -- reminds me of french women mostly... ;-)

The english equivalents are extremely boring.  

I really enjoyed debugging in French (compared to normal debugging,
anyway), although I'll never get used to those keyboards...
