Otherwise, it seems to be quite controversial and, may I say,

Its obvious. Professional translation is a very complex task.
The same way as is the professional software development.
Very true. Unfortunately, of course, its easier to 'hide' poor
quality code, than to hide poor quality translations.
If something on the user's screen is badly- or wrongly-translated, or
a translation is missing altogether, the user will notice almost
immediately, and the perceived quality of the software is instantly
reduced.
On the other hand, if the software runs 10% slower than it could
because it's poorly written, or leaks some memory every now and again,
most users probably won't even notice.
Cheeri,
