One thing that I could do is fill all the missing strings with the strings
from German (without overwriting the existing Swiss German strings).
This creates a fairly complete translation, but the downside is that you
can no longer look for "unfinished" translations to easily figure out what
to work on, instead you have to go through the string to find the ones you
don't like and replace them with better translations for the Swiss
audience.

Would that be useful? Or would that make it harder?
