Hi, I think gettext .po(internationalization) file should be made in distribution packages. But I am looking around the code, I cannot found the .po file. Is this a policy or just forget it to make this? For example, libvirt has many .po file in po directory. Thanks Atsushi SAKAI

You are right, we should have .po files in the distribution -- but we really haven't given any thought to internationalization at all yet, so I'm afraid it entails more work than that. We would certainly welcome help on adding the right internationalization framework to the application. Thanks, --Hugh

This will need internationalization. We just have not had the time to do that yet. If you'd like to contribute along these lines, that would be much appreciated :) For the Managed Node, we only support C locale in order to keep the embedded hypervisor image size minimal. So there will not be any internationalization at the current time. We will eventually be working on a local console for the Managed Node (so that you can create and manage guests from the console of a node instead of needing the oVirt server). This will need to be internationalized, but that is still a little ways off. Thanks, Perry
