Description Mark McLoughlin 2013-01-07 11:30:08 UTC 
This probably applies to all services, but let's start with Nova ...

Firstly, we don't include compiled message catalogs in our packages (i.e. .mo files) - we should be able to do e.g. 'python setup.py compile_catalog' to help with this. To understand what's going on here, read docs about babel and look at setup.cfg.

Secondly, at runtime, we do:

  gettext.install('nova', unicode=1)

which means that gettext looks for message catalogs in e.g.

  /usr/share/locale/$LANG/LC_MESSAGES/nova.mo

so, we either need to install them there or use the 'localedir' argument to gettext.install() to tell gettext where they are

Babel has merged a necessary patch upstream: https://github.com/python-babel/babel/pull/335
Waiting for next babel release.
