Description
Interpreter error messages in the Runtime values are hard coded to en-us.
IfError(Text(1/0), FirstError.Message)
"Invalid operation: division by zero."
But they should actually be localized. This requires some additional infrastructure we don't have yet.

Research direction
Start by locating the interpreter error messages in the Runtime values, which the issue identifies as hard coded to en-us. Review the localization infrastructure needed for these messages; done means runtime errors such as division by zero are returned in the appropriate locale rather than always in English.
