The problem is that I have a Product that lists instances of other 
products in a combobox like this:

http://myurl/ConfiguratorJM/CreateJMProduct?objectType=JMPeople
http://myurl/ConfiguratorJM/CreateJMProduct?objectType=JMCompany

This will render a page like this:
Person : <ComboBox containing object titles + url> <SubmitButton: 
Edit><SubmitButton: Delete>

When the user edits a person or a company, then a form with all fields 
will be presented. After he
is finished, he will go back to that form and a status message will be 
presented. This status message
won't belong always to the same domain; that's why I wanted to do it 
that manner. Anyway, I guess
the only way is to translate the message programatically instead.
