3 possibilities when inserting a language message that has not been translated: 1) Do not insert the message for this language 2) Insert the message with an empty string 3) Replace the string with the en-US string and insert that I think 3) is the most correct approach ? or is there an automatic fallback for non-existing strings so 1) would be the correct way ?
Option 3 is surely the current and expected outcome, i.e., if a string is not translated then the English string is used instead.
But I don't know how we handle it now internally, whether it is automatic that a missing translation is replaced by the English original at build time (like your option 1) or we need to explicitly put the English version in place of the translation (while leaving PO files in the untranslated status, option 3). If the replacement is automatic then option 1 seems cleaner, just leave untranslated what is untranslated.
