I would say no. These are arguments used in  a command - if we start
translating pieces of GDB commands, I think it's going to make it harder
for us to document the command, as well harder for the user to use it.
For instance, some of our machines in the Paris office have system
configuration files that force the locale to "fr". So, on these machines
that I use only very seldomly, having to remember to use "oui" instead
of "yes" (whereas the rest of the comment isn't translated) would
certainly cause a certain amount of grief on my end. It also becomes
harder to share some commands between users because every has to be
careful of the locale...
