I fully understand that, but I would think that when producing software for mass consumption, you would want to dot every i and cross every t, and you might engage one of the 400 million or so people on this planet for whom English is their primary language to get things just right. To me, the amount of attention to detail in an app is an indicator of the amount of quality in the app. I sometimes have to translate things into French for some of my Canadian business associates, and I certainly don't trust it to anyone other than someone completely fluent in French.

That said, if the app was phenomenal beyond that, it would be different, but I ran into a lot of issues with the dockbars when I tried it out, and it all just left a slightly bitter taste in my mouth.
