Couldn't this be done first as a simple module that wraps a try block around the interactive prompt and changes known error messages to their translated counterparts? It would probably make sense to see if there's any traction for the idea first that way before changing core Python.
It would actually be interesting to see just how far someone could get purely with sys.excepthook. It would be subject to some fairly significant limitations (particularly when it comes to reparsing strings with interpolated values), but the traceback parsing and comparison code in doctest may offer a good starting point.
