I did volunteer translations for fedora and ubuntu for a short while and most of the platforms are complete shit (or at least they were 10 years ago), so you get to translate a single word or short sentences without any context whatsoever, which makes it nearly impossible to translate correctly into some languages. like, is "left" the direction, the meaning of "remaining" or meaning "exited, left [the room]"?
it's the main reason why I stopped doing it

Hebrew runes are satanic and nobody wants to risk demon possession.
