It's the same in 2014. If you visit the site from

informative. There's no indication that this will screw things up, and
no obvious way for an inexpert user to figure out how to fix it (by
switching back to en-default)
If fallback languages aren't going to be available soon, then we
really need to think - at the very least - about disabling this
message.
Yes I think that makes sense. Does anyone know details about that? As
in: how to turn it off?
