Hi Kari,

before transifex we used Qt-Linguist for translation, but still QGIS
uses all Qt tools to get translations into the application.

The user format: 'ts file' is actually an xml file which for every
string has these term's (unfinished etc) in it (have a look into one of
the i18m/qgis_xx.ts files).

The html for the bars is generated by the script tsstat.pl:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/scripts/tsstat.pl#L124

the finished/unfinished counts are actually generated by the Qt command
'lrelease' which you can also run by hand:

richard at kwik/tmp$ lrelease qgis_es.ts
Updating 'qgis_es.qm'...
    Generated 10756 translation(s) (10489 finished and 267 unfinished)
    Ignored 914 untranslated source text(s)

And those counts actually is what you seen in the bar's.

As Maris already stated, I think unfinished is a string which is already
translated, but the source string is missing a punctuation or so?

HTH,
