These are good ideas. The translation wiki pages suggests that some of the
translations are actively maintained, while changelogs suggest that no one
worked on them for quite some time. Two major releses is a good indicator,
too. If no one updated a localization for the entire S2_2 branch (almost two
years now, right?), it can be safely assumed to be orphaned.
