When there are not enough resources for a 100% translation, our team
usually leaves the less important/popular sections out of the
translation. Users can read the important bits, and technical users
giving a thorough read usually don't have a problem reading eg. about
the kernel bits in English.

It'd be nice to be able to mark a section as 'untranslated', and the
final result will render a note box in that section saying eg. "The
following section is not available in your language. The English
(en_US) translation is shown instead."
