I'm a bit surprised how quickly the percent numbers drop from 100% to 
something lower. Because in absolute numbers, every translation with 
more than 1000 strings has been a massive amount of work. But when 
viewed in current percentage, it's not even 50% yet...

I would suggest we should draw the line for "supported language" at 
approx. 70%, as marked below (maybe we should simply drop the word 
"fully"). As it turns out, this is also the distinction between 
translations that have been updated this year i.e. for the 1.8.x branch, 
compared to those that have had their last update last year i.e. in the 
1.6.x branch. So these translations can certainly be called "fairly recent".

In absolute numbers, having 2000 translated msgids is a gigantic 
achievement for *any* translator or translation team. We should really 
give credits to them and often enough express gratitude to all 
hard-working translators out there. Thanks a lot!
