Good to hear. Since nobody has objected so far, I hope translators can
take it for granted now that their work will be part of the beta from
the beginning.

As of today's statistics we have 21 teams in the range between 75% and
100% for libs and base. These seem about the ones that are actively
working on their translations although there may be some stragglers. If
we go for 90% from the beginning, we would even have to drop French
what probably nobody wants. Also with the big changes that are
continually going on in the originals it's really difficult to stay
within such a narrow range for more than just a few days. Teams that
are in today might be out two days later which also nobody wants.

So I would suggest that I'll post a final statistics on Monday together
with the teams that made it this time (based on "somewhat like 80%")
while trying to encourage all others to keep trying for the next beta
round.

Regards,

Thomas
