I have worked on a number of computer projects where the language tables for the core product was professionally translated but the unfortunate developers had to provide the translations for new features themselves. I don't know what the marketing people who boasted of their command of foreign languages were doing, but it was certain they never dared handle translation tables. I contrived to tell users of an ATM that "Your card has breathed out". Well, the dictionary gave that word for "expired".
