OpenStack Compute (nova)

Oslo: i18n Message improvements

Registered by Luis A. Garcia

During the Oslo meeting on 2013-10-11 (http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/oslo/2013/) we discussed the integration of Messages into OpenStack vs other approaches, and also came up with some ideas for improving the current implementation and on how to implement the translated logs feature.

After the corresponding blueprint is implemented in oslo (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo-incubator/+spec/i18n-messages) we will have the ability to translate REST API responses, and to create additional logs in languages other than the default system locale.

This blueprint is for synchronizing the oslo code into nova, re-enabling the lazy translation, and making necessary adjustments in existing messages so they are translatable (e.g. Messages should not be created with +, but with % instead).

Apologies, this missed the deadline for Feature Freeze. Please rebase patches as soon as Juno opens, and we will try to get this in during that period. --johnthetubaguy (5th March 2014)

While things have merged in icehouse, there is not enough to bother splitting this blueprint. --johnthetubaugy

Unapproved - please re-submit via nova-spec --johnthetubagy (20th March 2014)
