I propose that, once a language reaches our release quality criteria (currently: UI translation at 100% and maintained), we do not drop it afterwards for the other minor releases.

With the current criteria, even if only a few new strings appear in, say, 4.2, this would mean that we have to drop the translations that are not updated for 4.2. Ultimately, this would be confusing for users and would mean that we lose an opportunity to involve new translators.

If, instead, we can consider the current 38 languages as "released in OpenOffice 4.x" and we continue to add, and never remove, languages to the list for all the 4.x series, this will be much better for users and for our maintenance/infrastructure. I would remove unmaintained languages only when version 5.0 comes.

Regards,
  Andrea.
