Thanks for your analysis. We plan to discuss how to fix and extend I18N at the summit. One question that was raised on the ML in February was whether internationalization was actually worth the effort for infrastructure software like OpenStack. I'll be the first to admit that there are other languages than English, but all our open development is based in English already (bugs, reviews, commit messages, mailing-lists, IRC...), so I don't think supporting more languages in the software itself will help growing our developer community. On our users community, do operators of OpenStack need translated error messages ? Given that translations are often incomplete, is it worth it ? What do comparable infrastructure open source software projects provide ? The effort to provide them has proven non-trivial, I'd like to make sure it's time well spent. Please weigh in as a lot of our international community won't be around in San Francisco next week, and I want their voice heard :) -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) Release Manager, OpenStack _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
