The Reddit translations are so insanely terrible. They are so much harder to read the the original English posts. It's like every word has been translated independently

The problem isn't the the translation isn't done well enough, but rather its underhanded nature that tries to sell a translated website as a genuine discussion.
Indeed. If I search Google for terms in my specific language other than English, I expect to find results that are relevant to my country. Auto-translated Reddit posts that "fake" being from that language are deeply annoying, because then I click them expecting to find some local references but in fact they are invariably talking about some US-specific market or situation that's useless to me.
