I have a couple of suggestions for "glance" (I'm the current Spanish
translator):
msgid ""
" - the server host name (that server must allow TCP connections from this
\n"
" machine);\n"
" - a username and password to access the database.\n"
" - A database type that you want to use."
^ ^
1/ There's a leading whitespace before the dash, is that okay?
2/ Uppercase/lowercase usage should be consistent (keep the first
character, all in uppercase or lowercase but not mixed).
msgid ""
"Enter the IP address of your keystone server, so that glance-api can
contact "
"Keystone to do the Glance service and endpoint creation."
By "do the Glance service" what do you exactly mean here? This one sounds
a bit fuzzy from a translator's POV, I mean, given that "to do" verb is
an auxiliary one it can be translated to almost anything, it would be
great if the action could be tuned a bit more (e.g., "start",
"initialize", "setup", "perform", "realize"... and so on).

Interesting thread.
I wonder what motivated the change (project → tenant) and why the author
chose this specific term which in English only has a specific meaning
with not many parallelisms with the old one ("project").
