Seems reasonable, to me, Andrea, I'm not sure that removing a language on
major release should be so strict. What about removing a language only
when
a MINIMUM% of it isn't translated (e.g., 10%)?
we had something like this before but defined a new rule to be 100% UI
complete and I think this is quite easy and a good rule.
The case Andrea described above should be more theoretical if an active
community is behind a translation. We released Arabic with 3.4 but there
was no active community and nothing happened later on.
I would still prefer the 100% rule. But anyway it's my personal opinion.
+1, not requiring 100% UI (which is quite easy to do for any translator) is
a dangerous path.
Nobody can today say when we do the next major release (5.x) meaning
translations< 100% could be ongoing for a long period. For a minor
release, its typically only a handful of messages that are changed, so it
not a big workload for any individual.
However, from the view point of a normal user who just wants to update
to the next version, it would be confusing why no localized install file
is available anymore.
So, from my side a clear +1 to keep these languages.
How much we allow to be under 100% is just a question of definition (and
agreement). ;-)
