Sure, we shouldn't be in such a situation.

I'm asking myself whether there's a middle ground - 82 projects with
release notes and log files is a lot. How many do we cover (for the best
language, for the best 3,...) today?

What shall we do once the next 10 projects want to have translations?

Or what can we do to get more translations for those projects that we
consider important?
