Bizarre, instead of simply hiring a couple of translators at $0.10 a word, they build a tool to let users translate the site. How many words of copy does twitter.com have anyway? I count less than 100 on the frontpage. And it's not just twitter - Facebook did the same - with painful results. The truth is, being a native speaker isn't enough to produce good translations. And while the English creators of a site can't tell the difference, its users certainly can.
