2.4 had 29 languages with more than 80% coverage wrt translation of the
GUI.

2.6 so far has 31.

The new ones are:

- Arabic
- Croatian
- Mongolian
- Lithuanian
- Russian
- Turkish
- Ukrainian

Supported in 2.4, but not in 2.6:

- Chinese, traditional (75%)
- British English (should be just a matter of filling in the blanks)
- Romanian (66%)
- Slovak (75%)
- Slovenian (70%)

I urge every one of these teams to put the pedal to the metal and get
back into the supported group. This would take us up to a whopping 36
languages over 80% complete.
