This is pretty difficult, because the problem in bug #418427 is that 
glchess.in isn't able to import glchess.glchess. When the problem occurs, 
it will most likely not be able to import defaults.py either.

I think that if glchess.in is going to display a translated error message, 
then it most not depend or include any other python files from glchess.

Either way, we should create a patch, and let it be tested pretty well.
