Hi Doug and all,
I needed to spend some time to look for the history. Roughly speaking our history can be broken donw into three categories:
[1] Liberty Horizon [2] documentation translation from 2014. [3] up to Kilo Horizon
I think following the history clarified what happened.
--- [1] Liberty Horizon In Liberty, we migrated the translation platform to Zanata and all imports were done by Jenkins jobs (thanks to Andreas).
[2] documentation translation from 2014 In parallel, there was the ongoing efforts to automate documentation translations. The thread is [2] and we discussed the threshold for translation addition (75%) and removal (60%). It is documented very well at https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Translations/Infrastructure.
[3] up to Kilo Horizon The following are my translation import patch for Horizon up to Kilo: * KIlo : https://github.com/openstack/horizon/commit/ 56d5683c8c49558ae22200bc01ec87ea83144003 (The commit message was wrong not Juno but Kilo :p) * Juno : https://github.com/openstack/horizon/commit/ 9b0ba951c07af13aa4c386b19876474b971e7946 * Icehouse : https://github.com/openstack/horizon/commit/ a9cf547d20065b2bd49e101364b46cffed4b6aee * Havana : https://github.com/openstack/horizon/commit/ 4910222356fbd2aeb0dab1b3cebe00330c2641f7
All of these commit messages said "Import ~100% completed translaitons". It seems we used almost all are translated. I could not find the meeting log where we discussed this criteria first for Havana or Icehouse. According to [1] it seems we had the criteria of 95% for Juno. --- commit 56d5683c8c49558ae22200bc01ec87ea83144003 Author: Akihiro Motoki <motoki@da.jp.nec.com> Date: Thu Apr 23 06:58:49 2015 +0900
Import translations from Transifex for Juno
* Import ~100% completed translations (translations available for 12 languages) * Delete incomplete languages * Update language list in openstack_dashboard settings.py ---
That's all what I succeeded to gather.

Akihiro,
I've been trying to find where we documented the 90% cutoff used by Horizon in past releases. I can't find it (and I'm afraid I'm the one who documented it). Were you able to find that reference?
I think it's reasonable to manage the Horizon language list to match
same set of languages for which we have PO files included in the
I am aware of this additional bug for Liberty: https://bugs.launchpad.net/horizon/+bug/1502326 where we adjusted the list of languages available by default. In Liberty we did not use the same criteria for deciding to include the PO files in the project that we did for including a language in the selection widget in the UI. Looking back, that seems like a strange choice now. Looking in horizon/openstack_dashboard/locale I see there are 30 or so langauges. I know we don't have that many languages translated to 66% in Horizon. Is there some cleanup that is still remaining, or is this the result of the criteria not quite matching what I'd expect?

The 66% cutoff would apply in both cases then. It should be easy for a consumer or distro to provide a shorter list than what we've defaulted by changing the value of the LANGUAGES setting in local_settings.py or a local_settings.d file.

Hi i18n team,
As Horizon liaison, I would like to ask you all about the criteria of Horizon language list for Mitaka release.
The same topic was discussed several releases ago and the consensus at that time were: * remove all translations with less than 90% progress * update the language list accordingly.
Translations were imported manually at that time and the situation may be changed now. I don't have an opinion and will just follow the i18n project decision. If no response or well-defined criteria, I will just keep the current language list [1].
Thank you for taking care of that, Akihiro. I don't see any requests to change the language list.
The following is just information: We have four PO files (django/djangojs for horizon and
openstack_dashboard).
The current translation import policy for each PO file is documentedhere [2]. Each PO file is imported once the translation percentage becomes over 75% and it will be removed when the translation percentage becomes less

20%.
What is our criteria?
My opinion is to follow the previous guidelines.
Do you mean we should remove <90% translations and update the lang list accordingly?
I made a quick survey. The result is not so happy, but I will just follow the team decision.
We have four PO files per language for horizon. My understanding is 90% means 90% translations for all these PO files. Unfortunately, as of today, only four languages satisfy this criteria (90%): de, fr, ja, ko If we change the criteria to 66%, we will have three more languages: pt-br, ru, zh-cn.
It is too sad statistics. openstack_dashboard/djangojs is the bottleneck of the progress.
On the other hand, the current language list contains 15 translated languages: cs, de, en-gb, en-au, es, fr, it, ja, ko, pl, pt-br, ru, tr, zh-cn, zh-tw.
No, I didn't mean to remove <90% translations. Did we do that before ? I thought the criteria was 66%.
I just realized the difference situation we met in this release. We have included plugin projects. Before mitaka, we only focus on Horizon translation. If we only take a look at the completion rate of Horizon[1], I think most active translation team have achieved >66%. So it means, we don't need to remove any languages from the list. If we consider the overall completion rate of plugin projects together with Horizon projects, some languages are less than 66%. My suggestion is to only consider the progress of Horizon project. 90% is too strict, I think. 66% is better.
Akihiro
In future releases, I think we should automate this as a part of translation import jobs. I will reduce the work of horizon liaison.
I agree.
