The log messages shouldn't even be translated (I knew, I've seen
something about log messages, but well, another thread it is then), so
we can just copy them over (as it was done for Chinese and I did in
Polish)

IMHO that depends on what is translated. I'd consider the out of the
box horizon dashboards do be a measure of things translated.
Everything that isn't enabled by default in the dashboard (like for
example DBaaS) is in my opinion not a complete blocker. For example
the installation I have at work doesn't have many of those features
and probably even with havana they won't be enabled so the users won't
ever see any untranslated parts (if they were any for my language ;)
But it's hard to test for component completion and it would require
putting your faith it in the hands of the specific language
coordinators.
So right now my proposal is - remove those translations and reconsider
a process change for 2013.2.1 or IceHouse

Can't really answer that because it depends on question 2 (and also I
have no idea how to answer that anyway :(
