It is important to note that while a deployment-based selection is logical,
it is not necessarily true that deployments have been keeping up with
localization.  Here are the percentage complete statistics for the list
above (and German).

  Language Code Glucose Fructose Honey  English (US) en_US 100 100 100
Spanish es 100 100 100  Arabic ar 69 39 27  Portuguese pt 66 55 59  Portuguese

Kinyarwanda rw 26 39 52  Pashto ps 58 45 75  Dari fa_AF 56 45 78  Sinhala si

A number of these have completed Sugar 0.82 or Sugar 0.84 Glucose/Fructose
pairs, but these are the stats for the most recent Glucose/Fructose projects
(Sugar 0.90 which is in 11.2.0).  In some cases the word counts for Fructose
and Honey are not consistent (probably an issue with uploaded PO files or
unsynchronized templates).

It would be very helpful if OLPC would leverage it's contacts in some of
these deployment regions to recruit localization help to the Pootle server
http://translate.sugarlabs.org/ and the Localization list
http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/localization , of particular importance is
getting a language admin that will review and commit the PO files, in many
cases, these languages listed above do not have active lang-admins.
