The situation is still not quite clear to me, and it would be
unfortunate to undo too much of the translation support work because
it will be hard to redo it.

Is there documentation somewhere describing what the i18n team has
committed to trying to translate? I think I heard that there was a
shift in emphasis to "user interfaces", but I'm not sure if that
includes error messages in services. Should we remove all use of
oslo.i18n from services? Or only when dealing with logs?
