It's as always (or at least at many points) in Debian: the main
issue is lack of manpower.
I disagree on that point. Lack of human resources is one factor but not
the main factor.
But it is always an excuse for low quality. This is a FOSS problem not
limited to Debian itself.
Removing the work from translators will likely not lead to
more motivation.
But that is not the point. The motivation is not important when it comes
to Debian as a project and how it is perceived in the public. As a
maintainer I also do take responsibility for the well-being and
motivation of my contributors. But there are other factors a maintainer
need to take into account. And the big thing is, to bring this factors
in kind of a balance. If a translation/language don't get enough love in
my project I do delete it to protect the project and my users.
I used this issue to bring the problem to attention. I am acting with
Debian as a project in my mind.
If you, as maintainer (?), feel different, that is up to you.
Close it then.
Regards,
Christian
