<font size=3 face="Default San Serif">Dear OpenStack friends,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Default San Serif">It will be happy and great for
our OpenStack community to see this open project open to more market all
over the world.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Default San Serif">In China, OpenStack community
is very active. I heard many Chinese engineers talking about their wish
to have a Chinese versioned openStack, including documentation's, manuals,
user interfaces, error messages, etc in OpenStack meet-ups. </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Default San Serif">I have many European friends
and also Danish friends, since I used to do my university there. They all
spoke perfect English, which made me admire, cos they were linguists in
my point of view. Oriental languages are different. They are "too
far" from the western lingual system. In China, there are many talented
engineers, who are not that kind of "linguists", but they are
lover of open source. I think it is amazing to open the "door"
to them. In China, it is very appreciated for software to be localized
as much as possible.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Default San Serif">I used to google or baidu(a famous
Chinese search engine) error messages and logs in Chinese for other software,
though it is not Apache. I found a lot of useful references in Chinese,
because it has been localized. If it is not localized well first, of course
it does not have the google or yahoo ability to search.:-)</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Default San Serif">So far I am rather grateful for
all the messages following this i18 issue. Thank you so much.</font>

<br><tt><font size=2>Don't get me wrong.. I'd be happy to have the various
openstack<br>
clients offer localised error messages. I'd also encourage a<br>
centralised effort to collect these translationns (so that all the<br>
various language bindings will use the same localised error messages).<br>
<br>
On the server, though, I believe we should stick to English and<br>
perhaps have every error message include a link (e.g.<br>
</font></tt><a href=http://docs.openstack.doc/exception/NoNetworksDefinedException><tt><font size=2>http://docs.openstack.doc/exception/NoNetworksDefinedException</font></tt></a><tt><font size=2>)
to a<br>
localised docs site. I think losing the ability to search the web for<br>
error messages would be a major loss.<br>
