Well, the graph is all there is, a list of numbers. I can put it on a
legacy 'we don't know what there numbers mean" page.

That number is just the result of a "select count(*) from table where
language" query, so that number won't change. The numbers from before
2006 are from an unknown script that we don't know what it did.
Essentially it will look like in 2006 lots of translations came out of
nowhere, which is what happened since there was an import of the old
translations.

Cross language statistics are something we don't have yet. But it
seems that "descriptions translated in X but not Y" would be
interesting to track.

Have a nice day,
