No, it is missing the point: currently, language autoconfiguration
is broken even for complete translations: even if you have a
french-installed Debian, spyder will by default show an english
interface, even if the french translation *is* complete. That is because
of a bug that is fixed by

https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/pull/21451/commits/7daea2051fbd28c9bf60523423366e96d68d660a

but rather than backporting that codechange which might uncover
who-knows-what bug, better apply the language list update patch:

https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/pull/21451/commits/28c12114299d8da8e58ee150cf1f7af1e0fd75b4

which happens to avoid the bug and let language autoconfiguration
actually work (for those languages which are not disabled due to
incompleteness).
