http://www.levien.com/gimp/jargon.html: 
 * Burrito One of the #gimp's two beloved bots. Burrito is based on the
   same code as Xachbot, and is run by yosh. One of Burrito's most
   important extensions is its ability to eek. It also has a database of
   2-letter country codes.

Yeah, cultural-specific, but the culture is the Gimp IRC-Channel
culture. The text of that error message is probably not really useful to
translate since it is never shown to the user anyway (unless something
is very broken in the Gimp code)...

Bye,
