When $max is dynamic you can't integrate it into a translation system. For ex: english: "The max value is %s" spanish: "%s es el valor maximo" One can't have "$max" strings to translate :-) Of course if the string is static: "Max value reached", just doing $this->raiseError("Max value reached") will be enough.
