Thanks, both. We always translate the FAQ first. When the translated FAQ is complete we advertise it, while saying that the rest of the Manual is not yet a complete translation. I would not say there is exactly a "policy", but the suggestion here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Help:Translating#Links is that you translate the link text, but leave the link pointing to the English page, so not red (broken). In other words, we adopt your second suggestion. An alternative suggestion made on the Help page is to: "start draft translations for all the linked pages in the page you are currently working on. That way, once the linked to pages are translated, you do not have to go back to the page you started to translate and change the links from the English page to the translated page." In that case, since the linked-to pages will be translated sooner, it would be more reasonable to have red links for a while.
