Query:

Some of the 11.2.0 targeted languages (presumably the same in 11.3.0) are
still a good way from completion.  I would like to know if I should press
for L10n of those specifically, as there is a reasonable chance we could
pick up some coverage if the L10n whip is wielded judiciously.

L10n commits will need to be checked for build-breakers (printf and terminal
newlines are the common culprits), but otherwise is not generally going to
introduce unexpected issues.
