Hi, I have been working on improving the gnucash flatpak on flathub [1] recently. As flathub's app delivery model heavily depends on appstream files, my attention inevitably got drawn to the gnucash appstream file.
It's in a reasonably good shape and I have amended it here and there to fit better in the current appstream requirements. One bit I haven't added yet is a "translations" tag. This tag is meant to indicate in which languages an app is translated. As a developer I'm having a bit of trouble quantifying this correctly. Depending on the language the translation status varies from 2% (Azerbaijani) to almost complete translations (Portguese, Croatian, Spanish, Ukrainian, German,...). So we have some Azerbaijani translations but I doubt it a user would consider gnucash translated in Azerbaijani if it only covers 1% of the messages. So from what point we can claim the application is translated in a certain language? More than 50%, 75%, 90% ? Just to give some indications: We currently have translations in 56 languages. If we require 80% of the messages to be translated to claim the application is translated in that language, gnucash would be considered translated in 29 languages. That in itself is actually quite impressive ! If we lower the barrier to 50%, we can claim the app to be translated 47 languages. I'll note the translation project colors everything more than 50% translated in different shades of green (with near 50% being a very yellowish green). Under 50% the color slowly changes from yellow over orange to red. So they seem to suggest 50%+ is good.
