I meant that translations were not very good. Mainly because translators
in Rosetta are not aware that we have our vocabulary, style guides, etc.
So they start translating ad hoc.

There is also no way to control who translates what in Rosetta, so
everyone can translate everything (if this person is a member of
translation team). This is straight way to disaster as there is no
quality control.

The second point can be solved, but I see no way to fix the first
(knowing the style) as it is in Rosetta "by design" (it is aimed at ad
hoc translation).
