It is easy to count numbers and base a decision on it.  But sometimes,
it does not make a difference whether 100% or just 80% are translated if
the missing translations belong to seldom used software pieces (this, of
course, depends on the user).

Something similar already exists in yast.  If the user selects an
incompletely translated language, yast will warn if a certain amount of
messages in not translated (it is configurable).  This is only about
yast messages (85 or 90%?); taking other desktop components into account
would be an interesting exercise.
