There appear to be two issues with the current Nova translation setup. First the .pot file is generated from trunk branch on LP which is quite out of date. This means the translation files in LP are generated with old data. Need to sync to LP properly or start looking at transifex and make sure transifex has an up to date .pot.

Second, at runtime Nova installs the translations but appears to only look in the default location for the translation files. You can probably only expect these to be there when installing from a package that installs to normal system locations. In many cases these files may be in a python egg or non system locations. Need to make the translation installation a little smarter about where it looks for things. The sphinx example above appears to deal with this issue.
