Well, according to the status sheet, only five translations are  
entirely done. That's a bit lame in my opinion, as 1.0.4 has 17  
languages. I think each translation team at least has to give a  
definitive answer to whether they will make/finish a new translation  
for 1.5 or not.

Seems like many teams just haven't contacted the list at all. I mean,  
the following languages are just blank at the status sheet: da, de- 
CH, fi, fr, hr, hu, jp, kr, pt-PT, tr, th, zh-CN, zh-TW. What's up  
with that? Those languages can no longer be considered a part of the  
Camino ML distribution, as they translation groups obviously aren't  
active anymore.

As for the rest of the languages, this needs to be done, according to  
the status sheet:

cs: Releasenotes + Readme
de-DE: Application + Readme
en-GB: Releasenotes + Readme
es: Application + Releasenotes + Readme
it: Application
lt: Skipped?
nl: Application + Releasenotes + Readme
no: Readme (and send files!)
sk: Application + Releasenotes + Readme

As the translation of the text files can be done in one or two days,  
it is primarily de-DE, es, it, nl and sk that needs to be focused on.

Any opinions on this?
