Companies like an infamous one with US HQ near Seattle and DE HQ near
Munich use a three-step process for translation:

1. Doing a translation.

2. Reviewing if technical description is okay (differences result
   from different language versions having different interfaces,
   different bugs, missing features, etc.).

3. Reviewing language style (involves contacting those involved in 
   step 3)

I have done 1 and 2 (mostly texts of that infamous company) - always
with the tendency to remove the most annoying style issues.

Would it be okay if I do 1 (IMO that's the hard task) then you do
step 2 and step 3 and contact me if you don't understand my
translation.

Iterate with exchanged roles as long as necessary (fortunately we
don't have the same restrictions a company has :-).

If that's okay I start translation after positive feedback.
