Indeed, should we stop submitting bugs in fear of insulting the
developers?

I can see your point about some people's English being bad. However, If
this is the case, the developer should find someone who knows English

Hoarding Ubuntu specific "translations" is bad, and possibly a violation
of the GPL (or whatever licence is used).
