Currently that's not true. For example, after invoking
`isearch-yank-string', `isearch-string' ends up holding the translated
version of the raw search string, which is not available anymore.

Not sure what you mean. If you are going to use `isearch-string' to
store the raw search string, obviously that variable should not be
overwritten with the translated version.
So you need another variable for the translated version, but I don't
think `isearch-message' is a good name, because the intent is not
(only) to be a mere message for the user, but to serve as input for
the search algorithm. Therefore I'd look for a name which better
reflects that intent. For example `isearch-string-canonical' or
`isearch-string-normalized' or something like that (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonicalization for inspiration).
