No, I suspect it's an unedited computer translation.

Kind of reminds me of something that never quite caught on. I think in the
80s Toshiba thought of a great way to make a manual that did not use
language at all.
It was a VCR. The basic idea seemed to be to show pictures of the display
and control setting steps with smiley faces for correct, and frowning ones
with glum looks for wrong.
It was fine for simple stuff, but was somewhat bemusing for anything that
had several steps that relied on the previous steps.
Very weird though.

Oh, I may have got this wrong then. I assumed as any blind person might that
this manual used pictures as all the links on that sight though talking
about translation is in fact just pictures of the text. Very very
helpful.... not.

Pity nobody could be bothered to OCR it then.

Well, I for one don't posess any OCR software, does your screen reader
not have any OCR capability? Though to be fair, any OCR program would be
quite likely to burst into flames if asked to transcribe the manual!

e.g.

Apart from the lack of punctuation what's so wrong with that? It sounds like a recent "The Archers" storyline.
