Android Lint asks to translate strings to MANY languages which i don't use in app

I can't compile/debug our Android app, because the localization files are not perfect yet.

My IDE's validation tool Lint create errors saying:

newCardsOrderVals is not translated in ar, bg, ca, cs

Compiling/installing/running with Ant works fine, but I would like to use my IDE to ease debugging.

Is there a way to turn off this particular check, or ideally make it a warning rather than an error?

I understand that before release we will really need to get localisation files right, but for the time being it is not a priority as the screens themselves are being modified very frequently.
