I agree. However, an incorrect choice for an argument with a choices parameter results in this string.

That string looks like it is aimed at the developer, not the user of
the program, so it makes sense not to translate it.

Hello, all. I was wondering if the following string was left untouched by
gettext for a purpose (from line 720 of argparse.py, in class
ArgumentError):

'argument %(argument\_name)s: %(message)s'

There may be other untranslatable strings in the argparse module, but I
have yet to encounter them in the wild.

Probably so that anyone introspecting on the error message can count on
somewhat of a consistent format (comes into play with doctest typically).
