Some of those are things like "OSD" or "Ceph" which cannot be translated, 

some are where one probably could argue for and some are def. just missed.

Do you want to take a shot at this and send a patch? It shouldn't be too hard,
relatively speaking.

The latter was not made a gettext as it's a long text, really different
from the other classic field or button label texts. It changed a few times
already, and it's way harder to review for correctness. Further, we
currently cannot detect gettext instances spanning over multiple lines, so
the parser would need adaption.
That's not saying I'd reject making it a gettext in general, just stating
the reasoning for initially not doing so.
