That sounds like way too much work for a wording "improvement" that is
exceedingly marginal in the first place.

IMO the only thing really wrong with those messages is that they aren't
complete sentences, which is a style guideline that we ought to try to
adhere to even if we're not bothering to translate them.  Perhaps
"Transaction canceled because of ..." would read better than "Canceled
on ..."?
