Sure, dumping some translation can make sense, esp if it is unmaintained. Dumping them all and doing it again - less sane.
Sure. I was just trying to say that long-term commitment to the translations is often much more important than the amount of translated languages.
The latter sadly seems to be often the case with open source software, IMHO. And even more importantly, it would be better to get the (Linux) documentation right in English before even considering translation. This actually so ironic that it is sad, like so many things in the Linux world.

Someone still reads documentation?
