Whole idea with log translation is half-backed anyway. About the half of important log messages contain output of things outside openstack. Libvirt, ip, sudo, kernel, etc. In any i18n installation there going to be some amount of untranslated messages. This kills whole idea of localization.
Modern operator ought to know English at 'technical reading' level anyway. Therefore, localization does not achieve it goal, but cause pain instead: search segmentation, slightly misleading translation (f.e. 'stream' and 'thread' both translate into Russian 'поток', which brings ambiguity), different system may use slightly different translation, causing even more mess. As Russian speaker and openstack operator I definitely don't want to have logs translation.

The policy change means that we may be able to clean up quite a lot of "clutter" throughout the service code, because without anyone actually translating the messages there is no need for the markup code used to tag those strings. If we do remove the markup from log messages, we will be effectively removing "multilingual logs" as a feature. Given the amount of work and code churn involved in the first roll out, I would not expect us to restore that feature later. Therefore, before we take what would almost certainly be an irreversible action, we would like some input about whether log message translations are useful to anyone. Please let us know if you or your customers use them.
