I am sympathetic to Daniel's concerns, but I disagree about choosing not to
make the attempt to pick up additional translations, although it is clearly
the release manager's choice.

I have been making a considerable effort to perform QA review for
build-breaking  PO errors across languages (the two primary candidates are
printf and ending newlines), I hope that the incidence of translations
causing build problems will be significantly mitigated.

As for the layout issues and toolbar overflow, I don't know how you would
expect to identify those issues without putting those languages into a
build.
