I vote for removing non-translated stuff and add something like

<sect1>
   <title>Sect Name *</title>

   <para>Not translated yet.</para>
</sect1>

In Russian FDP we have one Handbook chapter, where this approach is
used:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/ru_RU.KOI8-R/books/handbook/linuxemu.html

And it is possible to translate docs not only chapter-by-chapter,
but section-by-section too.  Your work will available without waiting
while for all chapter to be translated.
