If the total represents the total number of translatable strings then a decline in the total is just a sign that maintainers have dropped unnecessary debconf questions, which is probably a good thing, or that newer packages in the archive are heeding advice to use debconf sparingly (which is also a good thing). The steady decline in (fr) which (AFAICT) has been close to 100% during the majority of the timespan of the graphs would tend to support the idea that there are actually less debconf questions to translate. In that context, it isn't the angle of the graph that matters, it is the colour balance - from a user perspective, if there is any colour other than green it is probably better that this colour is yellow, indicating that those translations that do exist are complete. It is only (sv) where the depth of blue and red are increasing, something I have noted in the translations stats of my own packages, neither debconf nor package translations are attracting (sv) translation updates. Increasing amounts of blue and red are indicators of bit rot setting in. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
