Open Stack

Doug,

I'm not sure I understand how we'd do this, and I've already started to see
some attempts at this come up and they are going to cause quite a lot of
churn across the code base. I would like to have a clearer description of
what projects must do, like a cross project goal.

I'll catch you on IRC and hopefully get to a better understanding of this.

Thanks,

-amrith

We've heard from several European operators on this thread, and their input
makes it clear that log translations are not useful to them.

IIRC, the translation feature was originally added for some of our APAC
users. Is anyone from APAC actively using the feature?
