One of the reasons we left the Language menu in the main menus (instead of moving it to a dialog along with Icons in Menus, etc.) is for people using partly-translated versions where they may have to switch back and forth a lot.

So I’d also tend to lean toward the “give them what we have” side of the spectrum.

Cheers,
Jeff.

It could be an incitement for a random contributor to see that some strings are actually translated. And then hopefully most of the work they may do can be included in the next minor release. In reality we just tag it and let the packager decide if they want to package the language.
