Default Concerned about the translation

So, while the game is looking great in all other aspects, the English localization seems to be pretty lacking currently. Which is doubly unfortunate considering that the original Russian version supposedly had pretty good writing. The bad translation was a common criticism leveled against Space Rangers 2 as well, so one would think there'd be some improvements on that front. Though with Atari publishing the game that might be a bit tricky - to cut corners on localization costs, they cut half of the dialogue from the English version of The Witcher (no wonder people were complaining about disjointed dialogues). Not sure whether they have anything to do with the localization, but it's a bad omen, anyway.

Without a good translation, the game could go from "excellent, a must play" to "a good game, if you can get past the broken English". What I'd like to know is whether the team has realized this as a potential issue or not, and if steps are being taken to improve the quality of the English text. Or, if all else fails, is the game relatively easily modifiable, so that fan-made patches could be created to improve the dialogue?
