Any other fixes to do before we replace the > old native-lang.html with this one? After skimming the native-language status page, I found these issues: (1) while the website is "maintained", and the software is "current", people may think that their help isn't needed. Here are a few phrasings that could improve this misconception: "maintained; more volunteers are welcome", or "maintained; a few volunteers", or "maintained by 3 volunteers" etc. (2) In addition to the website and software columns, I suggest to add a Help System column, which can really lag behind the software translation, and isn't apparent in the current table.
