The situation is a bit more complex than that because if ServiceMix provides a bundle containing by example the page EndpointsListPage, they have to provide translation for this page but also a fragment to add translated labes for NavigationPanel which is until now part of the core. So, from this point of view, we do not need to provide a service for images, repeater as they will be part of the core bundle and present in the top banner of the web console. If they don't provide translation, then english will be used by default
