First, you should be rejecting unknown recipients during SMTP, not
accepting and later bouncing. Recent versions of postfix include a
DSN status code with the reject that most MUAs automatically
translate into the sender's own language. See:
http://www.postfix.org/LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README.html
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html

To adjust the text of bounce and other postfix-generated messages, see
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#bounce_template_file
