I don't know how these translation things are handled technically. But
since the intended meaning didn't change at all, I don't see why it is
better to have a "bad" english version and 40 equally "bad" translated
versions, over having a better english version, 10 better translated
versions, and 30 working translated versions with formally one
fuzzyness?
