    Professional translators can do this too, especially regarding subjects having extensive jargon associated with them.
    This is another reason that letting the volunteer amateurs do the real-time translation: SE's not responsible for their mistakes. The subsequent professional translation can be checked and corrected by the devs before its release.

    [N.B. I actually have to deal with this problem in my profession. I handle the "English-to-English translation" (among other revisions) of a lot of jargon-heavy documents that were professionally translated into English from a foreign language.]
