Actually there are some steps in area51 to define the state of a proposal

define, commit, beta (when the proposal is still in the first two steps), private beta, public beta

Meta Main Page

So why when a proposal is launched the state in the main page shows the site as Beta (like the proposals that have not completed the commitment phase yet) and not as Launched?

    "Beta" means "either private beta or public beta". "Launched" means "not beta anymore". I'm not quite sure what you mean, but I think there's a misunderstanding here.

  • @balpha The OP is saying that, basing on the screenshot, he is not able to understand when a site is still in beta, or it is launched.

Ah, but - that little progress bar for SharePoint is full - that means the proposal has completed the "define", the "commit" and the "beta" stages. While Spanish has completed only "define" and "commit" but has yet to complete (or even start) its beta stage.

There's no point to a "launched" stage in that progress bar, since it would be ongoing - there's no "completion criteria" for being launched.

    The caption is for the stage in the little progress indicator. There's no "Launched" stage, thus no caption. When "beta" completes, you're done.
