-Translated responses
-====================
-
-The Keystone server can provide error responses translated into the language in
-the ``Accept-Language`` header of the request. In order to test this in your
-development environment, there's a couple of things you need to do.
-
-1. Build the message files. Run the following command in your keystone
-   directory:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-   $ python setup.py compile_catalog
-
-This will generate .mo files like keystone/locale/[lang]/LC_MESSAGES/[lang].mo
-
-2. When running Keystone, set the ``KEYSTONE_LOCALEDIR`` environment variable
-   to the keystone/locale directory. For example:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ KEYSTONE_LOCALEDIR=/opt/stack/keystone/keystone/locale uwsgi --http 127.0.0.1:5000 --wsgi-file $(which keystone-wsgi-public)
-
-
-Now you can get a translated error response:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
- $ curl -s -H "Accept-Language: zh" http://localhost:5000/notapath | python -mjson.tool
- {
-     "error": {
-         "code": 404,
-         "message": "\u627e\u4e0d\u5230\u8cc7\u6e90\u3002",
-         "title": "Not Found"
-     }
- }
