This is something overlooked by devs and PMs sitting comfortably in their chairs.

People using apps in the modern world, especially mobile apps, are tired, stressed, busy, unfocused, and on the move. Small things like that added to the mix can induce a lot of stress.

For many devs/PMs it's just a piece of text. For the user it's much more.

The translations are somehow unappreciated part of the app dev by many people. I know several languages and I checked all new translations in our app each time but few people cared as much.
