In the current stable release, the only way I see is removing the
english descriptive sounds.

Adding an option for that should not be difficult code wise, will
involve more design than coding.
What is better?:
a) keep the current default and add an option to disable fallback
b) don't fallback as default and add an option to enable fallback
c) don't fallback at all
d) add an option where you explicit the desired language for
descriptions
e) add an option were you explicit 2 desired languages for descriptions
f) put your own idea here

d and e will enable tuxpaint to run on a language but speak in another,
which may be usefull for learning another language.
