well if you are i18n-ing your logging messages you should always include a code in the log message, that way you just google the code and presto changeo you have your answer...
what I find is there is a logging level above which it makes sense to i18n... usually somewhere around info/warn, but below which it well only be engineers so leave at english... what I'd like to see is some sort of logging escalation facility, so that when some event occurs, previous/subsequent log messages are escalated to give context... i.e. a thread local of the last 5 or so log records so that when you log an event you get access to the context even though the logging level was above the context's level there is nothing worse than digging through 5gb of logs from multiple threads trying to pull out the context for the one event you are after... that is another thing that the i18n via logging codes gives you, ie trotting context escalation for specifuc codes - Stephen --- Sent from my Android phone, so random spelling mistakes, random nonsense words and other nonsense are a direct result of using swype to type on the screen On 11 Jun 2011 17:38, "Mark Struberg" <strub...@yahoo.de> wrote:
