My advice would be to never delay a release because of waiting for multiple languages. It can easily turn into an infinite delay, making everyone on the project impatient and start losing interest, eventually leading to the project dying. At least that has been the fate of those two multi-language sub projects I have participated in.
The better solution is indeed to just release with English softsubs (and perhaps also foreign-language subs that were finished on time, but the selection of included subs should be consistent) and let other people take care of the further translation then.
Scripts for further translation to a third language should probably also be sprinkled with further notes on the meaning of the original text, otherwise lots of nuances can get lost in translation.
