Hi Daisy,

Sorry for our late response.

Now, we Japan team are also working on translation of OpenStack Operations Guide , and we had a discussion on the coordinator issue.

Our conclusion is to form a small coordinator team because of man power problem.
Here is a list of  the Japanese translation coordinators:
  Tomoyuki Kato <kato.dream.tomoyuki@xxxxxxxxx>
  Masanori Itoh  <masanori.itoh@xxxxxxxxx>
  Akira Yoshiyama <akirayoshiyama@xxxxxxxxx>

Best regards,
Masanori -- JOSUG / Japan OpenStack User Group
