Most likely the only interesting pages to

not good but does a decent job to give you a solvable riddle.

ALthouigh automatic translation has got *much* better, Human translation
is best. At least for the most important languages.
I can translate in french. I could do it in German (although some
proof-reading by someone of natibe german mothertongue would be good). My
wife could translate in Chinese (but she understands nothing about
computers... ) :)
Some might have noticed I speak austrian german as mothertongue, but one
could argue if that counts as german german :)

I don't mind when people use Google translate or another service for their own
immediate needs, but on principle we ought to have human beings to translate
for anything "permanent" (if that's the right word?); meaning, things
intended to be read by the general public, or which will be available for
years to come.
My French, for example, is pretty rusty now, but I remember using a translator
like Babel Fish (?), where I was uncertain about some lines in a text, and
got some hilarious results. For example: Peter the Large, a famous historical
figure, of Russian provenance. :-] I'm sure we all know other examples like
this.
Somebody who is reasonably fluent in both languages ought at least to
proofread the results before they get final approval for use in TDE releases.
