Sure it's not enough to for a language to have a dir in kde, in order to be=
=20
officially packaged. What's enough (or should be enough) is:
Thresholds:
	kdebase - 75%
	kdelibs.po - 90%
	desktop_l10n.po - 75%
	desktop_kdelibs.po - 75%

The apps I listed were just an example (random selection of app names).

The issue here is that there must be a limit that's predefined and known to=
=20
everybody,  for all the apps in kde svn, no matter which package or branch=
=20
they reside. And this is what the page I referred to does.

If we are concerned about the percentage of translated messages included in=
=20
released packages, and want to set a higher limit, it must be set globally.=
=20
That's all I'm saying...
