I think percent can be more general. As I said to Ricard think on a
2-steps progress for example, where the progress is the overall
progress, instead of the 1st step itself (copying for example). The
kuiserver gives that advantage.

The problem here is i18n. I suppose on unit you thought about
"contacts, mails...". How could we make the difference when talking
about different kind of plurals on some languages ?
