I deliberately didn't include some of these because the number of
translated messages were pathetic.
Danish has 139 messages translated out of 1305.
Malay for a long time had 72 messages translated; it's now up 235
messages out 1305.
Eperanto has gotten better; it's now up to 499 / 1305.
Ukranian is pretty new, but it's actually in pretty good shape; 1055 /
1305.
It seems to me that if a message catalog has only 5% of the messages
translated, including them is very likely to result in a poorer user
experience than if everything was left in English.

I actually use a script to pull down the changes:
#!/bin/bash
#
# git-tp-sync - downloads the latest PO files from translationproject.org
# and commits changes to your GIT repository.
#
# Features:
# - commit per PO file (no more huge commits for all .po files)
# - the commit "Author:" field is set from the Last-Translator

what I generally do is take a look at the new translations, and if
they look OK, I'll add them to the repository. I admit that I didn't
look at the Ukarian translation when it first showed up because my
experience has been that nearly all of the translation files had a
vanishly small percentage of the messages translated, and I had
assumed the Ukranian translation would follow the same sad pattern.
