That’s really helpful feedback, thanks. The translation is updateable by the community, and anyone can fix the translation to help improve it. Once you click on a language, you can select the “modify translation” option and then you can fix any string that’s wrong.

That was the idea behind it anyway, but yes I agree if the translation is bad then it will put people off so I will re-think how we do this. Perhaps we’ll just enable it for a language if people ask for it, and that person can fix the translation first.

Cheers,
Chris

That is the case of both this blog and of the http://kororaproject.org/ site. It might work for some languages, but for many languages the translation is far from being readable _at all_. I can confirm that for Czech language. It seems like the page was written by someone with a mental disorder.

I don’t mind when there is a button “Translate to ” (that single sentence can be auto-translated) and only then it performs an automatic translation (which the possibility to revert that action). But using it by default just kills the website. People will have a look at it, read the first sentence, then think “What on earth is this mess?” and close the website.

Really, really bad idea.
