I don't think there are any "middle options" that result in a good product. You want a localized app, but you don't want to put the work in.

If you add some new text somewhere in the UI, you need to start the app and make sure it looks right. If you only do that for one language, and don't check other languages, then there's going to be one language that's broken.

So your app is going to look broken in one language. And you probably will never find out, because the people who run into the bug don't speak your language.

Yes! That is exactly what people want.
