I agree that half done translations should not be included in the releases, 
but what about the case when 20 apps are fully translated, but 2 are not, or 
only partly. I think in this case this translations should be released for 
the 20 app, and for the non/partly translated apps there should be no 
translation file released. This will be a good compromise, as you won't see 
non-translated strings in an app mixed with translated ones, and it's also 
acceptable to see an app displaying its text only in English, as many 3rd 
party and non-KDE apps do. And of course speakers of the language in cause 
will miss only 2 apps and not the whole KDE.
