I would set the minimum requirement to 30%. Untranslated strings
default to english anyway, right? If the user is warned about it's
incompletion he won't be negatively surprised. Also, an average user
that just needs simple table management probably needs only 10-20% of
the translation anyway (just guessing).

I still think that allowing the use of (very) uncompleted translation
would more likely get users involved in the translation project.
