Message(ID)s indeed solve this but are complex unicode objects, that are
quite hard to map to a query string safe (per standard pure ascii but
utf-8 might work in recent browser versions) representation.

So how would the query string look like for this portal status message:

title = u'some object name with non-ascii chars in it'
_(u'msgid', default=u'Object ${name} deleted.', mapping={u'name': title})

?portal_status_message=... ?

And how would the page template regenerate a Message(ID) out of it
again, so it is indeed translated?

See my other post for a possible solution ;)
