My take on this is that you should translate as much as you feel it is 
possible.
It is nice to focus first on applications that have the most visibility 
to your users.

A language may be marked as supported or unsupported in the GNOME 
Release Notes,
however it is up to each distribution to choose whether they will 
include any partial translations or not.

My understanding with Ubuntu (and possibly Fedora, and others) is that 
they include anyway those translations.

To activate language support for a specific language, you go to 
System/Administration/Language Support, tick the language(s) of your 
interest and press Apply. Logout, choose Friulian, and log in again.

I noticed that in my distribution there is no entry for Friulian in the 
Language Support list. You may want to investigate how this list is 
maintained (for example, if there are any translations at all, or 
whether in Debian the language has been registered; for the case of Ubuntu).

Hope this helps,
