Hi, in the 4.x world we have something called "Essential Packages" for 
translations that is basically a set of minimum percentage of some files that 
you need to get if you want the whole translation of your language to be 
released with the 4.x SC.

For Plasma 5.x we probably are thinking on a 70% over all the files for the 
translations to be shipped.

I've been thinking about frameworks and i think it makes no sense to impose a 
minimum translation percentage.

The reason is that frameworks being a more "disperse" set of libraries (i.e. 
they can be used on a one or many basis for other projects) doing a global 
percentage is probably not a good idea (and we ship the translations 
individually anyway for each framework)

Per framework percentage is more argable if makes sense or not, but again the 
fact that let's say VLC may be using libkscreen (and in windows they would be 
shipping it themselves) means that I think it is a good idea that we let the 
downstream users be the ones that decide to include or not the translations 
(In case of linux would be the job of distros).

Opinions?

Cheers,
  Albert
