As a former Japanese Language team coordinator, I can say Japanese OpenStack operators are not interested in using translated version of log messages. I made a quick survey on translations in OpenStack Days Tokyo two years ago (2015). There were around 300~400 attendees and nobody raised hands for log translations. (I am not sure how many operators were there, but I saw at least several major OpenStack operators in Japan.)
