+E0445: r##"
+A private trait was used on a "public" type. Erroneous code example:
+
+```
+trait Foo {
+    fn dummy(&self) { }
+}
+
+pub trait Bar : Foo {} // error: private trait in exported type parameter bound
+```
+
+To solve this error, please ensure the trait is accessible at the same level of
+the type(s) on which it's implemented. Example:
+
+```
+pub trait Foo { // we set the Foo trait public
+    fn dummy(&self) { }
+}
+
+pub trait Bar : Foo {} // ok!
+```
