 Replying to [comment:1 SergeyBiryukov]:

 async_update_translation] filter.

 A lot is possible. But not for "Plain admins" etc.

 Why use difficult options / modifications to stop a unwanted behaviour?
 Why not stop the behaviour?
 Maybe in the options / general settings?

 Sorry, do you think it is a good idea to edit core files?

 And this statement: " I don't see how a translation update can easily
 render a site useless."

 this is arrogant. Have a look at the german translation:
 "reply to..." or "add comment" is translated to "Hinterlasse eine
 Antwort".
 This is a stupid text which no german would use.
 Whenever I edit this, it is overwritten the next time by any update.

 Can you imagine the trouble I have with clients when they ask me to have a
 special text at their site and that is overwritten all the time?
 Will they pay me for this unnecessary edits which are a pain in the ass???
 No, they would not. They would blame me to choose such a stupid system!

 I am angry and annoyed. Please look at this problem from the user-side,
 from the admin side!
