Reported by @cquencer:

When there are unfinished or empty translations at Transifex, empty spaces are displayed when the user has set the default language of the site to a (native) language which is empty (translate progression of 0%) or not finished translating yet. So far only reported for the NB admin pages.

**How to reproduce**

Choose a language other then English as the default language of the site which is not translated or finished yet at Transifex.
(the foreign language needs to be installed in order to test/reproduce)

**Expected result**

The expected result is the actual result, obviously.

**Actual result**

Empty spaces are displayed where normally text should be displayed.

**Suggestion**

We should not sync all available translations with Transifex but only the translations with an overall progress of 100%. Or in case specific syncing is a difficulty then we should not include unfinished translations from Transifex in new releases until a translation is finished (overall progress of 100%).

**Info**

This issue was reported by a user from the NB forum. More info on this can be found here:

> Actually, an even better idea could be to sync english strings instead of blank strings on unfinished translations.

> I'll see if this is something that can be fixed in the transifex client or similar, or if we need to update our phing script to fix this.
