Thanks, after changing ERR_SECURE_CONNECT_FAIL and restarting squid,
I'm still seeing the original text, then noticed that is was actually
reading /usr/local/squid/share/errors/en/ERR_SECURE_CONNECT_FAIL
messages
How are the lang specific files regenerated from the template?

Opened a bug to track this: http://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3457
