Comment (by dd32):

 I would agree that the number of translations isn't private data, nor is
 it data that can't be sourced through other public methods (ie. scraping
 every single project).

 I would however say, that total translations is one of those data points
 that I don't really see the benefit in. It seems like a way some could
 read as "I've translated more than you", ie. something people can game, a
 way to increase their profiles clout, etc. But I also realise that's not
 ''much different'' than # of WordPress releases contributed to - #5456, so
 I'm not fully against this.

 I guess I'm saying, Does the total number of translations actually matter?
 "Translated 123 strings" as an activity entry for a given day seems like
 more than enough. Especially if we finally get #479 fixed so that you can
 view paginated history and filter to certain activity types.

 tl;dr: I don't think this is something that's a priority, I question the
 usefulness, but if it's wanted for some reason by polyglots...
