I agree, that would be overkill - unless we decide to go all the way and 
i18n the installer, man-pages etc.

Instead, we should make it a habit to notify the last translators with a 
personal message when updates are due. That's still a group of >20 
people, and can easily be done. I (try to) read the list anyway, so I 
can volunteer to do that.
