Why allows translatewiki.net that I translate this message to English (which I presume is the source language) and why does it not allow me to translate it to my native language Colognian? (: I own an Android device and over time I want it to talk as much Colognian to me as possible :)

Because Android does not support anything but two letter language code. Please blog/yell/do whatever, but please don't blame translatewiki.net for not allowing you to make useless translations (i.e. if we would let you translate, your translations could never be used in an Android application).
