Not a question, but a complaint. Your machine translated interface falls short of being acceptable. Either give the l10n job to a human, or don't do it at all.

With this being open source, perhaps it'd be better to submit a pull request rather than a complaint?

Can you provide one or more example(s) of translations that aren't great?

The Swedish translation. I had to switch to English to figure out what some buttons did. For example one of the buttons at the button show "Jaktplan" (fighter plane).
Also there are a lot of extra spaces inserted in words with dashes or colons in them and some strings are simply not translated at all.

Your turn: what was the point of asking?

Danke. Fixing typos and other small grammatical problems in open source projects can be a good, easy way for people to get started; so my hope is that by sharing a few of those, you've created the opportunity for someone (maybe me, maybe another observer here) to contribute an improvement to the project. It's also an attempt to maximize the value of your complaint.

Probably just to know what were you talking about if we aren't fluent in any language that looks _weird_ and we couldn't notice it.

Maybe calm down a bit, nothing constructive comes of talking down to people. Especially an open source project.

I am calm. I am not talking down. Examine why you made bad assumptions, and could not see my post for what it is: sharing a hack to improve one's life.

I'm not GP, but your replies in this thread read as arrogant. If you're getting called out by multiple people, it is probably not them — and sure, you may have good intentions, but they are not coming across as you think.
