It's a very good reason...

In this case the only solution I can see is

DETAIL: Valid values are: "value1", "value2", "value3".

Where list '"value1", "value2", "value3"' is built in runtime but have no any
bindnings to any specific language. And the rest of the message is
'DETAIL: Valid values are: %s' which can be properly translated.
