Sorry, I forgot to point out (though it might be obvious) that the
don't-bother-translating-all-status-bits-to-English and the
show-general-status-temperature-with-color are, in my mind, related.  Native
readers can parse the details of the status in the table's text.  Others
(like me) can take a quick glance at the colors on the table and see basic
trends:

   "Lots of red" -- not much going on here.
   "Lots of green" -- wow, they're getting close to completion!
   "Greens and yellows in the first column, reds in the second" --
      translation is going well, but they've not done much verification

That kinda stuff.

Make sense?
