OK, we can keep it. There's far more fruitful places anyway (the
javascripts for example) I can next look at for reducing the number of
warning messages.

Glen,
I would like to keep both languages in. They are only missing 5 or 6 out of
563 keys, that's not a bad score at all.
I can live with the warning message it gives us.
kind regards,
Harry

Team, I tweeted twice and emailed Janne three days ago, no response from
him, but we didn't get an update on Finnish. I'd like to retire it from
our distribution so we're not perpetually seeing a warning message in our
build for it. Most Finns, like Janne presently does, are going to use
English anyway so everyone around the world can understand their Wiki. As
it's in the source control archives, we can always resurrect it relatively
quickly if we get a complaint, providing the complainant translates the
missing strings for us. :)
My view, if somebody on the team from country X wants to translate JSPWiki
into Xese, that's fine, but once they leave the project, if it's a minor
language like Lithuanian or Latvian or Finnish we look like idiots tweeting
for translation help. The maintenance of too many languages also
constrains us, as it makes it more difficult to change screens and the text
on them.
We could also retire Russian, as it's missing a handful of strings as
well, but Russian has about 30 times as many speakers as Finnish (155
million vs. 5 million) so I don't personally mind its retention even if we
get warning messages for it.
