Translations for sr that recently appeared

Honestly, i feel disoriented in the new design which is the prime reason why my activity here never restored.

To the issue, I have no time to do research to find out who particularly made these problematic translations or to talk with users I do not know. I brought this to attention here. In the worst case, the rest will happen when feedback from MediaWiki ns on sr.wp returns here.

New design of what? Main page? Skin? Sidebar?

You only need to go the the link I mentioned and you will see that all recent translations are made by one user, Rancher.

There is not much we non-native speakers can do, unless you can show that the translations are vandalized. If the user acts in good faith, he needs training, not a block.

Don't rush, nobody mentioned block. In fact, I mentioned rollback as a solution. I'll repeat I am not sure who is the author of questionable translations and Rancher is not from sr.wp. He's got to know some English = you also can talk with him.

My second proposal is to import all MediaWiki: edits from sr.wp made since 01.01.2011. I guess not all of new edits are very bad. It is more accurate to say that the bad edits this parson made have very big impact on sensitive places.

As for the accessibility, I am not fond of any changes done here since I came. Yesterday I was even unable to reach sr Portal and sr Language stats which topped it. Very glad to see them back today.

I think you are overreacting. Do you even know how many misspellings, bad verb forms, badly placed punctuation marks and translated terms were there five days ago? I edited and fixed many strings, also using a proper plural and gender patterns on this site. I also used a book from Mikro knjiga called Rečnik kompjuterskih termina.
You think everything's bad just because you noticed three examples you personally don't like? That's wrong. I gave you arguments in the last message.
If you are that unsatisfied with the current translation, you can always change it on Wikipedia here.

I think you are overreacting. I have underlined that not all is bad. Use better reading or at least put tl;dr, so that ppl can know what is the source of your confusion. And I did not estimate how much punctation mars were badly placed five days ago so please state it for the records.
