No, if this is the case then I've failed. I want the AppData files to
live upstream, controlled and modified by the maintainers, and
translated by the upstream translators. I'm only accepting files into
fedora-appstream that have been sent upstream while we're waiting for
a new upstream release. For instance:

No, this isn't a Fedora "problem", this is an upstream feature. If we
hide all the translations in Fedora then we're no better than
canonical with the Ubuntu Software Center application data.

That wasn't in my plans, no.
