In that case, the user would see not many translated pages.
English would be the usual language.
That is not bad. It is good. No errors or indications of low quality.
That is the goal and in the interest of Debian.
So we could skip the whole translation effort at all.
That is not what I've said.
Please contribute to translation of Debian,
and/or recrute many translators for Debian,
I understand that you don't mean it that way, but this "card" is rude.
Don't play this card to others.
I am also a maintainer and investing spare time and resources in
projects.
Don't blame for reporting a problem.
Don't take an issue to personal. I just reported a problem with Debian.
That's it. Don't feel pushed. This issue is not about that you or
someone else in the team need to fix it now. This is not the point.
Managing resources and schedules is not topic of that issue.
But if maintainers agree with my view that my initial reported problem
is a report, other contributors can catch up.
Doing the cost-benefit-calculation I still think it is better do delete
or disable/hide out dated translations, until they are up 2 date again.
after that you can introduce such rules.
Do you really feel it that way?
I could think about expand this "outdated translation" message, to
include
something like "We need people to translate this webpage into
<language>.
Please think about contributing to Debians translation effort".
That is IMHO not a solution to the problem I reported. No matter which
message users will find, it indicates low quality. The issue is about
the public view of Debian as a project.
Regards,
Christian
