Built-in Mathematica Symbol

$NewMessage

$NewMessage
is a global variable which, if set, is applied to the symbol name and tag of messages that are requested but have not yet been defined.

$NewMessage is applied to the symbol name, tag and language of a message if an explicit language is specified.

Mathematica looks for the value of name::tag or name::tag::lang after $NewMessage has been applied.

You can set up $NewMessage to read the text of messages from files when they are first needed.
