We could start by only setting a flag on a global basis, possibly in a
new game.cfg section, and append " (incomplete)" to the relevant
translations.  That would be quite easy to do, and has only a small
potential for disruption.  That may be true also for a simple warning
dialog to be displayed both when a language has been selected, and at
startup.

Dave, would we be allowed to implement this minimal handling at this
time ?  I expect the handful of pre-1.0 releases still to come to be
able to smooth out problems if any, and we could even revert it before
1.0 if it turns out to cause real problems...
