- Description set to new value
  When an exception is thrown we look up a message from the locale-specific resource file.  If the file is missing then the message ends up being "Failed to retrieve message for xxx".

In the case where the locale is not the default, we can make an additional attempt to use the resource file associated with the defaule locale.  If that file is found then the message will come back in the wrong language, but at least that's better then ""Failed to retrieve message for xxx".
