Public bug reported:

See https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=5352&offset=10

The Mahara language pack system is set up to allow a language pack to
specify a "parent" langpack, which will be used as its fallback for
untranslated terms in preference to English. This is a feature we've
never used, but basically inherited by porting Moodle's langpack system.

Among our existing langpacks, the only one that could benefit from this
is the "pt_BR" Portuguese (Brazil) language pack. There is a much more
complete "pt" Portuguese (Portugal) language pack, and it would be great
if the pt_BR pack used that as its fallback for untranslated terms.

What needs to happen is this line of code added to the lanfconfig.php
file for the pt_BR langpack:

 $string['parentlanguage'] = 'pt';

Unfortunately, I've no idea how to make that happen under our current
Launchpad-based translation system. As mentioned on the forum, I suspect
I'd have to do it via a bzr push, but I'm clueless at actually using
bzr.
