It's hard to say, that's for sure. I suspect many people who struggle 
never actually make it as far as the list but just give up. Perhaps the 
figures for translator-only attrition could shed some light on this, if 
they existed.

Also, LP seems to have not so great a reputation out there amongst pure 
localizers. I have been cautioned at least on 4 occassions by highly 
active localizers in other small-ish languages against using LP for 
anything but Ubuntu specific modules. For a variety of reasons, I ended 
up doing a lot more than that but that's by the by.

Don't get me wrong, I truly *like* the idea of a single place for 
handling lots of different localization projects, be that LP or Pootle 
based, but there are some rather serious issues with LP which 
(especially given the recent problems that have emerged, at least for 
this locale) greatly detract from it's potential usefulness.
