So there is a question here that I don’t understand.

There a different levels of I18N, for say user facing error messages, or
for other things I consider UI (horizon).

Those need to be I18N and all that. I think the larger part that I don’t
understand is why the things that are not the above (log messages) are
being internationalized.

So what level do we want to have ;) And what level is normal for people
to expect (do systems like hadoop do I18N on there error messages, do
other apache projects?)

I agree with you.

Documentation and user-facing interfaces should definitely support I18N.
That means Horizon, and (maybe) the Python client bindings.
Operators-facing log messages... not so much. By internationalizing them
we lose the ability to google for them, and I'm not convinced the
trade-off is favorable for that particular population.

As long as user facing interfaces also means command line interface, I think we're on the same page.
