perhaps it would be possible to identify the strings by integers and
produce en-US "translations" from that via the l10n tooling...

... but there has to be a default language, otherwise developers will
become grumpy because builds will take longer and use more disk space;
the "translations" git repository currently takes up 2GB, which is 40%
more space than the source code ("core") repo, (+ 1.5GB for the working
copy), and is growing at a faster rate, so it is good that the
translation repository is optional and only downloaded if you use
--with-lang=...
