This is how we should do it. > 2) automatically call _() on log messages with the nova/log.py that is > in lp:~xtoddx/nova/newlog > Minimal change in the code.

It's certainly possible, but it makes it /extremely/ tedious to discover all the strings that need translation. That's why you put _() at the place where the string is defined. Then there are tools that can extract the strings and put them into a pot file. > In bexar release, we are planning to support i18n changes only related > to the logging messages. > In future, this would be extended to the exception handling messages and > responses to the client request. I don't understand this prioritisation. I would have done it completely opposite. When you catch an exception and output something, that's when you're trying to communicate something directly to a user. Log messages are rarely interesting, and when they are, there's a lot of value in being able to take the logs and post them somewhere so other people can see them, but if they're in a foreign language (or even script), it's of no use. > This message was sent from Launchpad by > Tushar Patil (https://launchpad.net/~tpatil) > to each member of the Nova team using the "Contact this team" link on the > Nova team page (https://launchpad.net/~nova). > For more information see > https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/ContactingPeople Please don't do this.
