The configuration scripts will automatically fallback to English files when files are missing in the translations - as long as the "container files" aren't overwritten (i.e. the files that contain the entity references). I would start with either making sure the "container files" are up2pdate, or removing them (files like book.xml which contain entity includes of classes and functions). That will ensure the fallback will kick in, and the English translation will be included when the translation is missing some files. If you have a lot of files in the translation that no longer exists in the english version, then those files have most probably be refactored into smaller chunks. They could also simply have been renamed (which we really really try to avoid exactly to prevent this sort of issues), but I would recommend you track down when the file was removed and why - just so you won't have to translate the entire thing again for no reason. I'm not a translator, so I can't say what other translations do.. hopefully someone can explain what they do in these cases :] -Hannes
