This is a different story: your system tells how much and how good quality of we deliver. My question here is how much it is consumed by users and how much adding a language increases the Fedora user base. I'm afraid this is difficult or impossible to answer. > [...] > Languages list at every translation platform may differ.

Add to this the list of languages supported by glibc: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=localedata/SUPPORTED It contains 196 different languages, or 315 counting regional (like English in the US/UK/India/Australia) and script variants (Latin, Cyrillic, Devanagari), or 486 counting different charset. Why this list is so ultimate? If a language is missing from Zanata or Damned Lies or other platforms you can add it or you can just provide your own translation not using any platform. But if a locale is missing from glibc you will be unable to use it: setlocale() will say "Unknown locale".
