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%3DEic=
yejWO7_Seew3Ch0%3D0wO%2BM-RQ%40mail.gmail.com

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 >=3D 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%.
