You could in theory maintain yourself a giant translation list and write a tool that used sed to find all the printk( lines matching the translation and edit them. You'll get caught by some macros and other stuff and the sed stuff will eventually need to be a smart program in something like perl.
That doesn't impact the kernel proper and its a convenient seperate project.
