You have to provide your modified mult-def.lua file, otherwise there is 
no way to check what's wrong.

Same as above, provide your translations.

\textwidth is the name of a dimen register and no register names are listed.

You can translate these string because they are only used in the command 
list to provide the texts which are shown in uppercase letter, e.g. NUMBER.

Constants (\c!...) and variables (\v!...) can be changed, only 
parameters which use the form \s!... have to be english in all cases 
(saves memory and improves performance).

There shouldn't be a problem with fonts because they use \s!file or 
\s!name which aren't translated (unless you made the mistake and have 
\c!file in your typescripts). It's possible there is a bug somewhere but 
you have to provide a minimal example.
