Well 30-40%. I think the bigger the application, the lower the % of vital 
strings is, and I guess for Amarok (which might be one of the biggest in 
extragear) it's _at least_ 35% (where vital means for me to be at least 
needed for basic usage, not including advanced or exotic features).

Here are current stats form 1.4.7rc1:
http://aplg.kollide.net/amarok/l10n/amarok-1.4.7+hydrogen1.html

I applied red to every translation with less than 35% -> 18, and I find it 
really hard to belive that those translations are actually maintained (since 
for almost [if not all of them], there was no progress since 1.4.6). Am I 
wrong on that? I mean, usually on removes unmaintained features/code, and I 
think the same should apply for localizations, since there is no reason to 
keep a translation released which is getting worse and worse with every 
release.

If any of the translators of a red marked language reads this... I'd really 
appreciate information on why the translational level is that low, and/or 
whether it is still maintained at all.
