It unfortunately seems that several contributors, here around, now

probably there are people, like me, that don't know very well English,

simple to correct some wrong words/sentences than translate all from
zero.
How and what do you learn?
reading others translations, reading translations comments , asking help
to others translators, ...
There are for some reasons really bad translations
That true
- as well as there are lots of strange descriptions that
are "word salad" even for native speakers.
I will never be able to translate correctly those "strange" descriptions :-(
What can be learned here is teamwork, how to make and digest fair
comments, making compromises, researching ...
yes
Another point of view: This description is of little use. Well, I have a
plug-in for some software. I obviously don't need it when the base
software is not installed. But I would like to know is, what this
plug-in can do for me. One could postpone the translation and
file an RC bug. Copied from debian policy:
3.4 The description of a package
Every Debian package must have a Description control field which
contains a synopsis and extended description of the package.
Technical information about the format of the Description field is in
Description, Section 5.6.13.
** The description should describe the package (the program) to a user
(system administrator) who has never met it before so that they have
enough information to decide whether they want to install it. ** This
description should not just be copied verbatim from the program's
documentation.
interesting
