Currently only Nova is set up for message translations (through Launchpad Rosetta [1]). We used to have 100% coverage in Japanese and French, and good Spanish coverage. Today the coverage dropped to 20%. I agree that it has value only if done properly and across the board. The original translations effort was pushed by the Japanese community to get Japanese errors in logs. We should definitely have a discussion at the Folsom design summit to get some consistency in core projects in that area.
