Exactly. Sadly many of them don't.
Perhaps it should be made clearer that you should only enter any
translations on BetaWiki if you are either a native or near-native
speaker of the language, not just if you took a few classes in the
language or spent a year in the country or something. I'm sure many
people are happy to help out in whatever way is possible and view it
as a nice way to brush up on the languages they know, and don't
realize what a poor translation they're adding. (I'm thinking
something like Engrish here -- is that about right?)
