[ovirt-devel] WARNING: trying to localize null, probable error. Exception is not thrown, returning 'N/A'

[Martin Mucha]

No, that warning was created by me, when altering EnumTranslator to remove few problems of it.

we 'can' just remove the warning, but I do think that trying to localize null key is just wrong since we're not able to differentiate misuse, lets say when providing key from variable, and proper localization of null value. Thus, can somebody explain, why it's valid to trying localize null valued enum type? If there's need to localize null key, I'd rather opt for having special method for that to explicitly show programmers intention. But for me it seems as a call for new properly named enum value.

sorry about any complications with this.
