Understandable, especially if you were not particularly thinking of the
splash page while picking up translations.

By "some more", do you mean 670 more strings, i.e. the number that is
required to get the percentage up to 90%?

While I see the splash page as an essential thing to translate, I don't
think the Release Notes as a whole is a top priority for us (the Finnish
translators).  There are a limited number of us, and no one has
voluteered to translate it so far.  If this means we cannot get the
splash page localized either, then I don't know what to say or think.
