We can always do more, but considering our limited resources I think
it's wise to focus first on the most important areas (ie. messages
displayed in web pages vs internal log messages).

FTR I did start working on the French translation for jasper this summer
but I got dragged to other duties. When looking around the other
resource bundles I really wondered if it made sense to translate very
technical messages though.

If the translations were nearly complete and of good quality I would
definitely not suggest dropping them. Yet, I think I'd still configure
Tomcat to run in English instead of French because I'm used to the
English terminology.

I don't think rearranging the JARs is necessary, it isn't difficult to
run Tomcat with a different locale. I'm more concerned about the
maintenance burden and the actual value vs the time invested.
