Hi! Actually, I wasn't actually asking for assistance in translating Nova, but I could certainly use all the help I could get! :) I was just wondering how the translations system worked for adding new languages there and whether I had set up the configuration for translations properly? For all translators who might be interested in translating strings for Nova, I welcome your assistance! Let me tell you a little about Nova. Nova is a sub-project of the OpenStack cloud-computing super-project; it is the "fabric" of the cloud. By "fabric", what we mean is that Nova provides the "glue" that holds the many parts of a cloud infrastructure together: * network controllers * compute controllers * schedulers * volume managers * authentication controllers * much more Nova has an API that speaks two "flavours": the Amazon EC2 API and the OpenStack API, which right now, looks very similar to the Rackspace Cloud Servers 1.0 API. These APIs enable callers to control the cloud by: * Adding new projects, users, user security groups * Adding new instances. Instances are virtual machines running on actual physical hosts * Add networks for projects and users * Upload new images (snapshots of a running virtual machine or "golden images", which are virtual machines that contain a "clean" stack of programs) We have documentation about Nova here: http://nova.openstack.org Please don't hesitate to email me questions about Nova and/or join our mailing list to ask questions: http://launchpad.net/openstack Thank you all! -jay _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-translators Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-translators More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
