My cents: Apache HTTP is not so equivelant to OpenStack here. Generally it doesn't care about the application errors or exceptions thrown by web applications. In openstack, exceptions have been defined in nova, horizon, keystone etc. The messages of these exceptions are important for different users to understand what has happened. These messages always need to be localized, returned and displayed on user interface, not just be logged in backend system. It is very common practice for a global software project.

Note that Apache HTTPd, for instance, does not seem to internationalize
its error messages. Only the (enduser-facing) HTML pages it gives back
in response to invalid requests are.

Oddly enough, it's not a question of completeness of translations.
Piggybacking on the awesome Launchpad Translations community always gave
us great coverage. It's more a code support and CI integration issue.
