It was only 1/3 complete.  Having only some of the strings translated,
and the rest in English seems to be worse than all translated or all
English--there's no consistency, which (IMHO) makes the program output
more difficult to read.

I removed it completely, but it's still in SVN if anyone wants to
resurrect it.  If it's normal practice just to remove it from LINGUAS,
I can restore it in a jiffy.
