I agree, the German translation is pretty bad (phrases like "Hier ist, was sie über Quicklang.", "Es ist ein Durcheinander. Sie wissen Bescheid.", and "Du kannst all meine Programmierprojekte auf X" are incomplete or awkward).

It also doesn't sound like this can handle dynamic phrases like "buy {{count}} items"?

When you use machine translation, you must be aware that the fact that text is not in the original language does not necessarily mean that someone else speaking another language can understand it.
