Most of the pages seem to be like this now, and to make things more 
perplexing, there are some reds among the purples.  

An example is:
http://i18n.kde.org/stats/gui/KDE_3_2_BRANCH/cy/kdeaddons/index.php
Only one file (desktop_kdeaddons.po) has been translated (that will be 
different tomorrow, since today I committed 14 new files), and all the rest 
are listed as purple (n/a), apart from a couple (kateprojectmanager.pot, 
katespell.pot and kcmmediacontrol.pot) which are listed as red (even though 
they should so far as I can see have the same status as the purple ones).  

I know it was different a while ago, because I actually used this page to look 
at the number of strings in each file, and decide which files to put on our 
Kartouche website - hence the new files I just committed.

Another example is:
http://i18n.kde.org/stats/gui/KDE_3_2_BRANCH/cy/kdemultimedia/index.php
