Although statistics are missing, probably over 95% of localizations are contributed by the community, and this is constantly affirmed in all the presentations we are making around the world (I already did more than 20 during 2020, and I will do others before the end of the year).
Unfortunately, counting all contributions is not trivial, because there are cases - such as Italian - where only one person commits the patches but over a dozen contribute the translations. I hope to have Weblate connected to the dashboard, as this would allow to have at least some statistics - possibly not perfect - to use not only for press releases but also for presentations. In addition, only a minor percentage of people active in localization applies for TDF membership, while almost 100% of core developers do, and this does not provide the same level of representation to the community of people active in localization. By the way, in late July we have applied to the Guinness World of Records as LibreOffice is the software available in the largest number of languages, but we are still waiting for their reply (for "free" applications, the standard answer is 12 weeks, so we should be close to receiving it).
