Minimum translation percentage for Plasma 5 releases (second take)

After talking to a few people here in Randa about this issue, I come with an
updated suggestion.
* We ship all translations that are over a very low limit (say 5%)
* When selecting a language in the language KCM that has less than
$PERCENTAGE we show a dialog saying something like "Yo man, we know the
translation of Plasma is not completed into this language, at the moment is at
$CURRENTPERCENTAGE, you are still free to use it, and if you want to
cotnribute to improve it, plz go to $SOMEURL" <- needs better wording
This way we set the expectations correctly, and people that prefer running
translated even if it's just 23%, can do it, and people that think that
running low-translated software is a SIN are told and can't complain anymore.
Probably we want to do this in other situations like startup of plasma after
an upgrade, etc.
I'd suggest $PERCENTAGE to be quite high, something like 90% we used to have
for kde-runtime.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Albert
