I just wanted to share some notes on this translation.
The message bears text for a tooltip which according to UI style
guidelines has the purpose to describe a control's function or effect,
not convey a command. Hence, neither the source nor the translation
should not use the imperative mode. I don't blame Lukasz because the
English source is actually grammatically wrong either. It should read
"Accepts this certificate and trusts a connection via HTTPS". So, the
translation should read "Akceptuje ten certyfikat i ufa połączeniu
HTTPS."

Same goes here, it should read "Rejects this certificate and does not
establish a HTTPS connection" in English. The proper translation for
this would be "Porzuca ten certyfikat i nie nawiązuje połączenia HTTPS".
In Polish, connections are only "built" when physical objects are built
too. ;-) Immaterial connections are just linked. However, they can
always be created (tworzyć).
And finally, style; no one ever talks nor writes like this "Nie akceptuj
ten certyfikat...". Although it is grammatically correct, it's ugly and
confusing in this context. The best thing to do here is to use the
opposite term for accepting (akceptować), hence to reject something
(odrzucać/porzucać/odmawiać).
