[Alexandria-list] Translation Status

The translation page on the Alexandria website 
http://www.alexandria.local/features/translations.html
doesn't paint a full picture, I'm afraid. My fault. 

I had a few goals for the page:

* Let users know the status of the translation of their own language
(in this respect, I show the status for the latest released version,
0.6.2, rather than SVN)

* Give credit to current translators, while not criticizing those who
(understandably) left the project during its long hiatus (this is why
the non-current translations are listed as unmaintained)

The Czech translation fell between these two. Petr contributed his
updated translation after 0.6.2 was released, and this was
committed to svn in r848. Also there's a new Galician translation, as I
mentioned elsewhere. Neither show up on the translation status page,
since users of 0.6.2 won't see them (and the current SVN is very much in
flux).

Can anyone think of a nice way to show interim status in the table on
the translation status page? Perhaps by adding one more column for the
status of the translation in subversion, making it:

Locale | Status (0.6.2) | Status (SVN) | Translator
 Czech |         58.7 % | 96.8%        | Petr Vaneck

I should automate this process anyway, but that's for another day.

By the way, if anyone else is interested in internationalization,
there's the alexandria-i18n-list 
http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/alexandria-i18n-list

Cheers,

   -   Cathal.
