There are two solutions which have the same result in the software but 
different result for translator:

a) Leave string empty - The original is displayed - But your always have 
an untranslated string
b) Copy the string - The original is displayed - But you have no 
untranslated strings

Use "b" I would suggest :-)

You get more experienced the more you do, so feel free to ask.

BTW: French has 377 missing where Russian has 412. Do you really want let 
them win the race?
