How to treat out-of-date languages

As Loomio grows, translations are added to or modified. This means that even if a translation reached 100%, over time the translation gets out of date and this percentage decreases.
Currently there are 6 "Live" languages where this has happened, and they are now below 60% translated. I am concerned that this might mean that Loomio is confusing for a new person trying to use that language. (Bit that are not translated will be English)
Should a language that drops below some percentage be removed from the list of selectable languages?

I think there is a common agreement that languages should be kept while trying to encourage people using them to contribute. The only differenece is on how to do it.
I would keep the language list as it is now, just show a message when a user picks a language with less than x% translated items mentioning this and asking if they want to help with translation in their language.
