Just one: consider a percentage limit, say 80%, under which a translation
should be discarded. I don't mind (and it is difficult to check) bad
translations, but a program half translated and half not is not
acceptable, IMHO.

This could be an issue for packagers though, accepting just fairly
complete translations to include in the packages, and leaving the
translated strings untouched in the source.

Comments?
