@Merry Andrew,
Just to expand a bit on that, I haven't seen any automated translator that I
would trust with technical material. I don't think you can avoid using an
actual human translator.

Having to deal with with technical stuff in different languages, I cannot help to laugh about translations made by automated translators.

However, I find them useful for "gisting"...

Ultimately, you have to have a human that put things the right way...

@George,
That's exactly what I meant, George. I was just trying to be terse and concise. (And maybe just a teensy bit flippant.)

@joefromchicago,
and there's certainly value in a good chuckle on a day like this
