You'd be surprised how shoddy human translations can be, and it's not necessarily because of the translators themselves.

Typically what happens is that translators are given an Excel sheet with the original text in a column, and the translated text must be put into the next column. Because there's no context, it's not necessarily clear to the translator whether the translation for plane should be avion (airplane) or plan (geometric plane). The translator might not ever see the actual software with their translated text.
