Comment (by Nao):

 @tobifjellner You're right about top plugins list, my mistake.

 @dd32 thanks for explaining the technical status around the percentage
 count. I don't think too much resource should be spent here, but let me
 step back and explain the intention of this ticket.

 Currently, it's not easy for translators to see how exactly the
 plugin/theme translation creation works.

 We have a doc for [https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook
 /frequently-asked-questions/#strings-are-validated-when-are-they-taken-
 into-account-for-download language pack creation process], but that's not
 something that can be easily found.

 I just want to help translators become aware that they can complete Stable
 and high & normal priority readme strings then move on to next project.
 But currently, the combined stats on pages like
 [https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ja/default/wp-plugins/akismet
 this] (83% at the moment) tend to make them feel they need to bring it to
 100%.

 For example, translate.wordpress.com theme projects show a message like
 this to translators:

  Note: These translations will only be activated on WordPress.com when 85%
 of the strings have been translated. Currently only 76% are translated.

 Would this be something we can look into? e.g.

  Note: Strings in readme are deployed almost immediately. The language
 pack for the plugin is only available when 95% of the "Stable (latest
 release)" sub-project strings have been translated. Currently only 76% are
 translated.
