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.

- jka 5y agoCan you provide one or more example(s) of translations that aren't great?

- tecleandor 5y agoProbably 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.
- jka 5y agoDanke. 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.
- radiantmilk 5y agoThe 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.

- fuzzer37 5y agoMaybe calm down a bit, nothing constructive comes of talking down to people. Especially an open source project.
- bmn__ 5y agoI 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.
- fuzzer37 5y agoHow many downvotes are you up to now?
- fredoliveira 5y agoI'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.
- dan1234 5y agoWith this being open source, perhaps it'd be better to submit a pull request rather than a complaint?
