Curious about localization

Half a Lambert is better than one.

I've been on a learning-about-localization-in-games kick lately, and, remembering just how often Valve patches the localization files in TF2, decided to look up the list of languages the game actually supports, knowing it must be kind of bananas.

To my surprise, I found that while there is text support for a whopping 26, absolutely none of them are listed as having Full Audio except English. Is... is that true??? I know for a fact that at least some of the "Meet the Team" videos have translations in other languages, so I figured those guys provide voices for the characters in the game itself as well. Do they not? Or is this just a case of Valve being super-strict about what counts as "full"?
