Explanation:
I'm not sure if "stage number" fits your translation, but the rest should be pretty accurate. Good luck!

buffer/queue almost full warning


Explanation:
FIFO may come from English first in first out, but such a data construct is, in English, known as a queue in data processing or more simply as a buffer in signal processing.
One example is the 16550 UART which took over serial processing in the 1980s. (Suddenly I feel so old.)
"While most PC's only have a 16550 with 16-byte buffers..."

The idea, of course, is to warn the sender BEFORE the receive buffer overflows.

FWIW, "FIFO buffer" (136,000 Google hits) is redundant because buffering is alway first in first out. The idea is to preserve data, not rearrange it.
Of course, there's also first in last out (b.k.a. "stack") for working backwards. And not necessarily in strictly reverse order either.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFO
The Wikipedia article says it all:
FIFO is an acronym for First In, First Out, an abstraction in ways of organizing and manipulation of data relative to time and prioritization. This expression describes the principle of a queue processing technique or servicing conflicting demands by ordering process by first-come, first-served (FCFS) behaviour: what comes in first is handled first, what comes in next waits until the first is finished, etc.
