Well, with leaving the translations behind you produce the same effect 
as before - lost translation records. Thus, for the case where a user 
doesn't have the right to move the records I would simply not move any 
of the records (including the original language record).

That would IMO just overcomplicate everything, I would simply do it like 
with moving: all or nothing.

agreed, just move everything.
