From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Translation software is not grammar checking software. It doesn't improve the grammar of what was written in the original language. I've read a few things on the web over the years and there's a ton of terrible grammar from native writers.
To be frank, judging the quality of a translation plugin by the grammar of the landing page or of the announcement blog post reflects the ignorance of the judge. It smacks of wanting an excuse to tear down a stranger on the internet. And frankly, it's privileged bullshit.
The reaction of the extension's author tells me everything I need to know about them: "I did my best. If you'd like to submit some improvements, here's a link to the repository."
That is good practice.
