BTW, while the wiki page does still say that, I have a vague idea
that the policy might have been changed later. I dug in the archives
and could find only this inconclusive discussion:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CAECtzeV6dyu4jTOrorFW%3DB%3DEicyejWO7_Seew3Ch0%3D0wO%2BM-...
However, the actual state of affairs doesn't seem to match the 80%
rule. I see in src/backend/po in the v18 branch:
de.po 99%
es.po 93%
fr.po 78%
id.po 45%
it.po 81%
ja.po 99%
ka.po 79%
ko.po 99%
pl.po 56%
pt_BR.po 77%
ru.po 99%
sv.po 99%
tr.po 60%
uk.po 90%
zh_CN.po 67%
I annotated these with translation percentages from
babel.postgresql.org, which are probably up-to-the-minute not
reflective of where it was at 18.0 release. But there's no way
that id.po went from >= 80% to 45% since release, and there are
others that are well under 80%.
So I'm not sure what the active policy really is, but it's not 80%.
