[WG: I18N & L10N] Locales specified in default properties

[Jean-Francois Leveque]

Hi David,

a) You could check the code for _??.properties and _??_??.properties 
files to learn about translations that are not on the list.

b) The Vietnamese was contributed after the release of 2.7.0 and before 
the release of 2.8.0, IIRC. The Arabic, Russian, and others could be 
outdated. There could be other criteria to find badly supported locales. 
A first guess would be to look for the updated languages information on 
the release page (BTW, French "French" is omitted on the 2.8.0 release 
page), because even if i18n contributors have tried to preserve 
translations with i18n fixes, to err is human. Another way would be to 
know the locales you need and email the translation owners for 
information and if you don't get information, try this list to get in 
touch with others using the same language.

If you have time for this, I would really like to learn about your 
default locale and the percentage of users that have set another one in 
the preferences by locale chosen.

Regards

J-F
