[Ying Chun Guo <guoyingc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I will vote option 3, because I think API-user-facing messages is as
important as
user interface messages. Since the workload of option 3 is not much more
than option 2,
option 3 will be a better choice.

btw, I see documentation, e.g. OpenStack manuals, is excluded in these four
options.
Does that mean there is no comments against the globalization of
documentation?

Regards
Daisy
