I think the problem stems from translators being sent a bunch of strings with little context. At least even when we hired professionals it could sometimes be a bit wonky, especially with shorter texts. For instance the word "speaker" can mean both someone that presents, or a loud-speaker playing music ("høgtaler"). If you tell a translator to translate the string "Speakers:" for a heading, they can't know the context. I once saw a conference program bragging about their loud-speakers in my language..
