( just an idea - would need inputs on this - not sure how much this would
help here )
In Transtats ( at
http://transtats.xyz ) we have relationship whereby people
can traverse from Fedora Release > Language > Packages. There we have some
information on "how languages are doing at translation platform?" but this
depends on list of packages added.
Secondly, as it has statistics from build system, hence, some interface could
be created for "how languages > packages are doing at build system?" - so,
this at-a-glace picture could help both 1) Language Maintainers and 2) Package
Maintainers.
This is a different story: your system tells how much and how good
quality of we deliver. My question here is how much it is consumed
by users and how much adding a language increases the Fedora user
base. I'm afraid this is difficult or impossible to answer.

Languages list at every translation platform may differ. For DamnedLies its
185:
https://l10n.gnome.org/languages/ , for fedora.zanata its 101:
https://fedora.zanata.org/languages , for weblate (demo) its 50+:
https://demo.weblate.org/languages/ In fedora we have people using many
different platforms to translate (obviously for us its Zanata - as our
platform) -- but good news is: everything is built in koji !!
Add to this the list of languages supported by glibc:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=localedata/SUPPORTED
It contains 196 different languages, or 315 counting regional (like
English in the US/UK/India/Australia) and script variants (Latin,
Cyrillic, Devanagari), or 486 counting different charset. Why this
list is so ultimate? If a language is missing from Zanata or Damned
Lies or other platforms you can add it or you can just provide your
own translation not using any platform. But if a locale is missing
from glibc you will be unable to use it: setlocale() will say
"Unknown locale".
