Maybe I can offer a (partial) solution to this problem.

When using Transifex, strings have 2 "levels" of completion:

  *   translated
  *   reviewed

If the Breton translation file would be containing both French and Breton 
strings, it would show as 100 % translated. But...


  *   if the Breton strings were to be marked as "reviewed" and
  *   the French strings were to be marked as "translated"

it would be possible to see the percentage of completion by looking at the 
"reviewed" percentage. This has to be done carefully, though... and importing 
and exporting translation files in Transifex could break this easily.

Regards

Thomas

Yes.  Which is why it is not simply up to the translator to choose.
Yes.  The translation would appear incorrectly as 100% complete.

So all in all it's probably a bad idea for our hypothetical Breton translator 
to decide to put French into the empty places.  Still, I would allow it, if 
they told me that in their professional opinion as a Breton speaker that it was 
for the best.

The situation is completely different since Breton is one of the two
languages of Brittany, witch is part of france since centuries. However,
now it's another problem that I can see: if the translator does this,
the translation would appear incorrectly to be made at 100%
