Open Stack

Hi all,

Please find my comments inline.

Can you coordinate which languages should be contained in the repo?

It is hard to distinguish user visible strings from log messages on
Transifex.
It depends on each language coordinators?
Luckily enough, by grepping the code, there are only a few log messages
marked as translatable,
It means it doesn't matter much.

I would like to follow the community decision.

I agree it is a good start line to remove non 100% translated languages
from the repo.
However IMO partly translated dashboard is still useful for some languages.
If a language coordinator/translator requests to include it, it is worth
included
even if it is not 100% translated.
I saw a similar opinion from a Dutch translator in the general list
yesterday.

Fair enough. Agree.

Yes, Users can customize the language list by editing OpenStack Dashboard
setting files (settings.py).
Note that OpenStack Dashboard has two settings files: settings.py and
local_settings.py,
local_settings.py contains configuration parameters which users usually
configure, and
settings.py contains parameters which are less required to configure.
