Well, but the translation often sounds odd and a bit forced. They insist in 
translating words (technical terms, especially) that are better left in English

>(especially Open Source products, often badly and inconsistently translated).

don't ever mention the topic again, please. I already feel my blood boiling 
at the very thought of people who spell "OK" as "Ok", or use exclamation 
points (they are *informal* punctuation, dammit! have you ever read an 
exclamation in a dictionary? newspaper? so why the f**k do you do that?), 
or Capitalize The First Character Of Every Word (it's used in *titles* and 
*expansions of acronyms*, not just anywhere you feel warm and good in your 
tummy about it), or just plain can't spell and/or compose meaningful sentences

You translate documentation and send it to me. If you become a regular 
contributor, trusted to know the rules and not embarass us with silly 
nonsense, we can give you a permanent account to lessen the hassle. I'm 
Italian too, BTW, so I can edit your translations personally

PS: do you happen to come from Turin?
