Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install a sample site: https://github.com/episerver/AlloyDemoKit.
2. Set log level to "Info".
3. Start the site.
4. Observe the log file.

NOTE: This is not actually a problem. When a provider is instantiated, we first attempt to create it from the Container. If the Container throws an exception, we log the exception at INFO level then try and create the provider using the default constructor. As long as this works, the localization remains fully functional. The log messages should be corrected to reflect this.

Expected:
No error.

Actual:
