How can one translate QGIS processing scripts GUI and user messages to other languages ?
The QGIS documentation explains how to translate Python plugins, but not processing scripts.

I don't understand how that could possibly work. You can't change the script language - it's a programming language, not a natural language. You can't translate it, unless you rewrite it in a different programming language.– jbalkCommented Nov 23, 2021 at 19:52

There might be better ways to achieve this, but if it's only for a handful of additional languages you can do something like this:
from qgis.PyQt.QtCore import QSettings
settings = QSettings()
description = 'description in English'
if settings.value('locale/userLocale')[0:2] == 'de':
description = 'description in German'
print(description)

1Thanks for your answer. It's a good workaround for the description text, but it's too heavy to set up for log messages and parameters names.– bonzinorCommented Mar 11, 2022 at 12:59
