Jaunty Translations at the start - Top 10

Posted by Adi | Filed under English, Free Software, Planet Ubuntu

Now that Jaunty translations are available in Launchpad I thought it is a good time to look at some numbers, statistics and damn lies to see were we stand.

I looked at first 10 languages as displayed by translation status page in Jaunty. This should be just a rough look at the current state of  Ubuntu translations and see with what we can be proud of our work and where there is space for improvements.

For each list I will try to explain what does numbers represents but I will not comment them. Maybe we can have another set of statistics just before release and then try to comment them. If the explanations are wrong please let me know and I will correct them.

All values are raw numbers and are not weighted by the number of people speaking that language or the number of people working at translations.

I have also added some screenshots for those of you who have previously tried to sort the language status page, but stopped doing that after your browser freeze. Also the pictures are there to witness the case I made some errors while rendering their text version.

    Can you perhaps update these statistics?

    Please note that Swedish is well-translated :-)
    We are only 2-3 active translators in Launchpad but the most work is done upstreams (where it should be done).

    Is there a problem is I would update them near the Jaunty release?

    My initial idea was to have a start and finish stats.

    Cheers,
