Our English translation is not shipped as `.mo` file.
This means that should `setup.py build_i18n` fail for whatever reason, installing UH should not abort but rather print a huge warning in the shell and only offer English from there on.

We today had a user experiencing trouble with said `build/mo/` problems.
I suppose fixing underlying issues is always better,
but if we are not responsible for problems
(such as if intltool or any distribution-specific stuff break us)
then we're better off with an English-only game than with none at all.
