And for the languages that are not translated yet?
Don't get me wrong --- I'm only trying to give a sense of what it is
like for a user to experience a regression. It is generally little
solace that someone else's use case is supported better.

Oh, I never meant to say that this should be a blocker. Only that
there really are costs and benefits to weigh.
Much more important than the known bugs are the unknown bugs ---
you've heard this before, I think. The way to get rid of unknown bugs
(aside from inspecting code) is to get users.
For example, if Gerrit doesn't mind, I would like to apply your
patches to experimental once the version being staged for squeeze
clears from there.
Other interested people can attract users in other ways --- by
providing documentation, tarballs, ...
