Agreed. Including .po files is a pretty standard pattern for open source
projects that want i18n support. Packagers are free to slice these up so
default installs don't support all locales, but doing that in multiple
git repos would just be a bunch of extra complexity for no gain.

From gerrit's perspective it is a code review ;) The link in the commit 
message explains the background.



I'm just wondering...
Why does nova contain these huge amount of files with strings?


The changed files are all for translation of the strings that are used 
as part of nova. Doing it this way allows people deploying nova to have 
translated content without extra effort.



Why don't we move all this staff into some library?


If I understand your suggestion completely, it sounds to me like a lot 
of work for little benefit,

[openstack-dev] [nova] String translations

2015-10-27 Thread Marian Horban
Hi guys,

Today I found review https://review.openstack.org/#/c/236188/.
It doesn't look like a code review :)
I'm just wondering...
Why does nova contain these huge amount of files with strings?
Why don't we move all this staff into some library?

Regards, Marian
