Sometimes they suck so bad that we can't even understand what some options are supposed to be. What's more, many technical words should not be translated, else users won't know exactly what the developers meant.

Why is there no language selection? Shouldn't be more than 30 lines of code to do that.
That's exactly what I keep asking to myself...
