I have checked this for the Dutch translation. At this moment 31% is 
translated, Lucid was translated 100%. The problem with Launchpad is 
that it cannot handle fuzzies (translated strings from the previous 
version, Lucid, are not copied to Oneiric if the English strings have 
undergone slight changes). Although many translators have complained 
about this, LP will not implement this, perhaps due to lack of manpower. 
So what I do is this: I open both versions, copy and paste strings with 
minor changes, change and save them in Oneiric. It is a lot of extra 
work, but better than starting a whole new translation.
