Yes, to disable translations you can modify the ALL_LINGUAS line of
configure.in to only include the translations you want, before
compiling. That's the easiest way to disable translations.

It works for disabling the *.mo/*.gmo files from being generated by
gettext, and should work for disabling the translation merging of
intltool-ized files (such as gconf schemas) as well, methinks. But I'm
no expert in intltool.
