Even though the documents are not translated fully some content might still be useful. Also, showing that the translation is not finished, but partial, might actually spur some people to take it over. I think it would be best to keep the languages and try to find a way to (automatically) add a disclaimer to the top of the document saying something like: "This document is not fully translated and it is not actively being updated. If you can help please contact xxxxx" When I mean automatically I mean that the text should be added when the PO statistics show a large part of the content untranslated. Best regards Javier
