Most of our messages are in MediaWiki extensions. I checked the localisation stats as of now and two years ago for the extensions used on Wikimedia projects: many languages are lagging behind development, with only 14 over 90 % translated (was 40) and 22 over 80 % (was 52).* Do we need more recruitment? Some examples of affected languages: Russian went from 100 % to 80 % messages translated, pl 98 -> 80, pt 100 -> 64, hu 94 -> 67, nb 94 -> 72, cs 93 -> 77, ar 92 -> 64.

How does this relate to absolute browth in the # of extension strings? SJ

The stats page doesn't tell, here are the current absolute numbers: https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ALanguageStats&x=D&language=pt I don't know if the absolute number increased; my feeling is that simply some languages reduced their activity and are not keeping pace with the newly added messages and messages invalidated: old messages are all translated, new ones very little. "Big offenders" are extensions like AFTv4 (later even removed), AFTv5 and EducationProgram but also Moodbar, Echo, which have many messages (over a thousand in total) and are untranslated in pt, probably also because they're hard to translated.
