The problem with translations is that even the best translators can make mistakes because when you just send them a list of strings they are unaware of the context where these will be used. And then you end up with "Key" being translated as "Taste" (key on a keyboard) instead of "Schlüssel" (which would have been appropriate in the Windows Registry Editor) in German. So the translator should be:
* fluent in both languages (including domain-specific tech lingo)
* intimately familiar with the software
* very thorough (has to ideally check each and every string if it works in the context of the software)
...only then will you get a high quality translation.
