There are sometimes German words and phrases being used, wrongly. One of the lesser authors seemed to actually use google translator, and badly at that.
To me as a native, it just has a feeling of wrongness. For the German language this is different than Dutch because Dutch has a less complicated morphology.
One non-morphological example is that they would translate "uptime" as something like "aufzeit", while referencing it like a river. "zeitauf" would make sense as an adjective, but it hurts as a noun. The literal translation would be "Hochzeit" which unfortunately already means "wedding", but could be distinguished by context and pronunciation.
