Yes. I think the last language we did that to was Hebrew, since the guy 
translating Hebrew let us know he was quitting.

I was thinking of a case of, for example, a translator going through 
anaconda strings in Zanata and seeing a bunch of untranslated Hebrew 
strings and saying "hey I know Hebrew I can fix that" but then not 
telling us. We can test for that, I think. I can't remember whether 
transifex did or not, but zanata pulls down everything regardless of 
LINGUAS, so we could look for languages not in LINGUAS that are above a 
high threshold of percentage translated.

But yes, I agree that this would be rare.
