The shitty German translations are a big turn off for me, to be honest. Looks like a bot translated phishing mail...

It might be tolerable for a free as in beer service, but if anybody wanted me to pay for it, do the translation properly (e.g. hire somebody for a few bucks), or focus on languages you mastered first. I am more likely to pay for a "proper" English-language service than a crappy "German"-language one, but that does not necessarily translate well to other Germans.




Yeah, badly done translations are a big turnoff.

In Czech version they call their "Premium" plan button as "Insurance".

This is good point for monetising side projects: if you are going to create international version, spent 20 USD on people who actually speak that language or keep it in English.
