That's useful information, but it's not totally compelling on its own.
You have to convince us that more people will benefit from adding
Catalan than would lose out if we remove Polish. If the Polish
translation is so outdated as to be useless, that's easy: removing it
wouldn't harm anyone, so Catalan must be an advantage. I don't know if
that's the case or not.
Also, with Hungarian gone, Polish is the only remaining Eastern European
language in the list (whereas Catalan would add yet another Western
European one, of which we already have several). So from the point of
view of geographic balance I would be a bit reluctant to make that
particular change.
Do you have statistics for the number of Catalan speakers who don't also
speak one of the other supported languages? For example, there would be
less advantage in adding it if, say, the existing French translation is
actually usable by 50% of the Catalan-speaking population.
