Displaying vim error messages

Hello,

I would like to display one of vim's in-built error messages from a
script. For example, "E347: No more file "filename" found in path". I
could just use :echoerr, but then the string wouldn't be localised if
people are using translated versions of vim, and if the text of E347
were ever to change I'd have to update my plugin if I wanted to match
it.

I've looked through the documentation but most of what I could find
seemed just to be summaries of existing error messages rather than ways
of displaying them or extracting their text. Is there any way to print
an error based on its message ID (E347 in this case)?

Any pointers greatly appreciated,

Dani.
