Judging by some of the instructions that accompany software (and peripherals, lol), alot of the techies are not really proficient with the English language.

What I think is that the translators do not really understand what the Japanese and Korean techies are saying, so they make translations that essentially are word for word, and the oriental idioms do not work in English. (Don't speak either language, so this is just a theory.)
