Hi, Recently I read about the idea of REST API message and log message i18n proposals. I think maybe we could generate the message id by file name, method name and line no, like "test2.py#Main#15". I think this new message id is shorter and more readable than md5sum. And with this kind of information, the developer can locate the message as follows: 1. find all files with the same file name; 2. jump to the line no; 3. verify the function name and the gettext call; Then the developer can find the corresponding message. In the attachment, it is a small python program to print the information. Feel free to comment this new proposal. Thanks, Peng Wu Refer URL: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo/+spec/log-messages-id https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo/+spec/log-messages-translation-domain PS: I just noticed that some developers are considering to log both English and translated log messages, dunno whether they plan to return both English and translated REST API messages. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
