I am not sure about its purpose. Does it mean that if German has 90% complete GNOME translations, but Nautilus (even though fully translated) shows in pure English, it is a blocker; but if Arabic has 20% complete GNOME translations, and Nautilus (even though fully translated) shows in pure English, it is not a blocker? I.e. Nautilus code is broken, but only for Arabic -> Arabic translations are too incomplete -> not blocker? Is that the intended purpose? Not saying it's wrong or right, probably both. Just clarifying. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
