Such errors are inevitable, given that many coders are non-native English 
speakers.

If you find errors such as these, you should try to fix them in your 
translation. You should probably also report these as bugs to the project 
concerned. Try to avoid the possibility of translation errors by staying as 
close to the original wording as possible.
