Marc seems to have a good point. What if you ship all translation above ~10-20% but notify the user about its incompletion (everything below 80% translated or so?) when he changes the language in the phpmyadmin settings? Some simple AJAX Message would suffice.
Maybe there is a way to extract the completion progress from https://l10n.cihar.com/projects/phpmyadmin/ and warn/notify the user about its completion status and write that translation help is always welcome?
People that use incomplete translations might give them an additional motivation boost to participate in the translation (release early, release often).

Hi
cross posting this mail to both -devel and -translators.
Currently we ship all translations with phpMyAdmin. I don't think it really makes sense for languages where just few words are translated. Now the question is where to set the threshold. I think the translation should provide reasonable set of translated messages to be actually useful.
When requiring 50% of translation to be complete, the list of languages would consist of 24:
Turkish Swedish Spanish Slovenian Russian Italian Greek German French English (United Kingdom) Dutch Czech Chinese (China) Catalan Norwegian Bokmal Polish Finnish Uzbek (latin) Uzbek Galician Hungarian Georgian Lithuanian Portuguese (Brazil)
