I have been looking at the translation of Ubuntu 16.04 as project management case study and I was really curious about the number of languages which would be 'fully translated' for this release. They have jumped from over 40 (prior to the release) to 100 now (according to http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop).
The completion status given by launchpad (https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+translations) however, doesn't have a single language at 100%. What is the criteria a language needs to meet to be 'fully translated'? And can anyone give an account of the sudden jump from over 40 to 100?
Any information on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
