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 %(argumentname)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).
