You can localise the app and the description independently. We localised our app listing months before the app itself was localised. I guess the worst you're risking that way is someone disappointed after download to see the app doesn't speak their language after all, and we did have a bunch of users commenting to that effect. However, it was a tiny fraction, and we'll never know how many additional downloads we got because potential users were able to figure out that they wanted the app based on the description they could understand.
On the other hand, our app doesn't really have much text in it, although there's several sentences in the tutorial that might be important for some users to understand if they are to be able to use the app comfortably from the beginning. I'd say it depends on the app - genre, audience, the amount and importance of text in it - how much success you can have with this approach.
