This is widely repeated, but only partially true. We could package and distribute OpenOffice in more than 100 languages tomorrow (so to say; of course it would need some infrastructure work, but the translations are there).

Swedish is at 95% in OpenOffice (which means 96% after the, now useless, TestTool strings are removed) and at 96% in LibreOffice, as one can find from the respective Pootle statistics. Of course, these numbers are not very significant since they should be taken at release time, but this is what I could find now.

So, for the vast majority of languages, this is only a matter of release policy: so far, OpenOffice only releases translations where there are active volunteers who bring the translation to 100%. We already have a couple of volunteers working on Swedish, so I'm confident we can reach 100% and release 3.4.1 in Swedish in January.

The recent post from Juergen at
https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/apache_openoffice_reached_out_to
is quite informative in this respect.
