Hi, >From the perspective of Evergreen translator the proposal to narrow the focus to languages that have actual users seems to be quite reasonable to me.
I also agree with Galens criteria - in my experience if the locale project is living the translations are surely updated at least ones a year. Also the amount of translated strings usually does not drop below 70% (not even when translation of new parts of Evergreen like web client have been added to Launchpad). I would only recommend to include one more criterion: To keep the translation if there is a living Evergreen catalog using the given language (although I think that at present it is not topical). I wonder what would the "translation coordinator" exactly mean? Would it just meen to keep an eye on translation statuses and activity in Launchpad and communicate with translators on one side and Evergreen developers on the other side good time before the Evergreen release? In that case I think I could do it. Eva --- Mgr.
