Strong agree. I had worked at Google for four years before discovering that the API documentation I meticulously wrote was machine translated to other languages. Only by perusing these translations did I realize some API concepts had been translated; I had to overuse the backtick notation for code to suppress these translations.

This is not a just Silicon Valley problem though; Redmond had similar issues if you just use the newer parts of Windows in a non-English language.
