IMHO, removing anything completely out from the main repo is not a
good practice. Can't recall exactly, but sometime back I encountered a
situation where a new project maintainer had a hard time trying to
find and merge translations from a much older project for a different
(and newly created but related) project, as quite a lot of message
strings were reused. Even if there is a way to workaround a similar
situation, still I'd vote for non-removal of strings from the main
repo.

Suggestion here: Do you think it would be possible to add in an
indicator or link of some sort which can let visitors know that this
particular language could do with some translation help and maybe link
them to the translation project page where they can sign up to
translate?

-1 for Bengali-India. Please don't enable this setting for us.
