Explanation:
to add → number of missing translations
to remove → obsolete transations (not a problem at an operational problem but it’s a bit annoying when comparing files)

About the evaluations:
decent: <30 missing translations
passable < 100 missing translations
bad < 200 missing translations
very bad: over 200 missing translations

Albanian and Thai are in a class of their own: Albanian file has invalid json format, and Thai file is listed in languages.json but there is no language file. In both cases the default US English is used if these languages are selected in the UI.

Hello, now it’s end of 2021, how is it now ? not much better I’m afraid, there is still the same 14 languages that are more or less maintained and the rest is happily rotting - a bit like the general state of my country.
Well, I know that there are 2 languages in a bad shape currently that have pull requests pending, but it’s not much. I was hoping to spur a nationalistic frenzy of emulation to get better translations, but it did not quite work. Not even for Esperanto.

I am stepping up the effort, first I am ranking the languages. If it don’t awake the Esperanto fans, what else will do ? And I am publishing the tool that I use for that, incidently I use it also to manage the translations that I’m sending to the project, it’s here.

At some point in the past I was disabling (just removing the lines from languages.json) for languages that were less than 20% or 30% done.
We can just disable some …

Actually none is so low (with the exception of Thai that just don’t exist), all are above 50%.
In fact the 5 languages that are left undefined in languages.json (Bielorussian, Galician, Icelandic, Mongolian and Norvegian), are in fact slightly ‘better’ than the worse defined in languages.json (although none of them is better than ‘very bad’ in my ranking).
Should I add them back then ?
