Regarding the log files, if they come from apport, I agree with Arne in
the sense that ideally apport should generate them in the English (C)
locale. But if I understand it correctly, that's also about logs
generated by the applications themselves prior to the bug report, so
that might not be that simple and they might need to be translated once
they are included in the bug report anyway.

If there is not a massive amount of such bugs, you could also forward
them to the ubuntu-translators list, where you'd surely find someone
speaking the language and willing to help either translating the bug or
directly assisting the reporter. This has been done occasionally for
Answers request in the past and IIRC worked quite well. Alternatively,
you could even open a bug task against the ubuntu-translations project,
and those subscribed to bugmail would forward it to the list. That said
though, I think directly forwarding the bugs to the list might be a
better approach.

Regards,
David.
