I can see why we wouldn't necessarily want to remove support for a language
with sparse translations (assuming it *works*), I think it's still a
worthwhile effort to track the translation and input status for languages so
we can properly inform users what languages do have first-class support.
Transifex already does this:
https://fedora.transifex.com/
the front page has translation completion percentage for all modules
combined. Front pages for each individual module give percentages for
that module. Of course, this is for Fedora modules - things like
anaconda, the release notes, etc - but that's all we can realistically
track anyway.
