Fact is that not even human translator do it on 100% as per trouble with words or for errors in original. Google translate have same "problem" and depend which language you use. Some are almost good soma are translate word by word almost and trouble is words with several traslation, depend on entire sentence!

:-) even Human translators aren't always accurate....and in many cases, "translation" is iffy at best because of a lack of a corresponding word
I don't understand, pardon. Please tell me the same concept using other words.
Google Translator is my door to world, I love it!
Of course, you have to know a little of the other language, because otherwise you can get into trouble. I once wanted to tell someone "you're always at foot of the cannon," and it translated it as "you are the last dried peach of the jar".

Yeah, and depending on the language, the grammar could change the meaning as well.
Yes, Goodhart, I've read that some languages are very intrincate, as Chinese, in example, where the pitch changes the meaning. Guaraní has a pronoun "we" to include the interlocutor and other that does not.
For instance: werfen Vater die Treppe hinunter seinen Hut
or "throw papa down the stairs his hat. This sounds like Papa is to be thrown down the stairs, but it is actually the HAT that needs thrown down the stairs to Papa.
or "throw papa down the stairs his hat. This sounds like Papa is to be thrown down the stairs, but it is actually the HAT that needs thrown down the stairs to Papa.
Or for instance, even simpler languages: directly translating - werfen Vater die Treppe hinunter seinen Hut or Throw Papa down the stairs his hat. This is not what the sentence means though. In English it isn't Dad we want to "throw down the stairs" but rather his hat, down the stairs to Dad.

It's a superb approach to take the Google translated text and translate it again to your personal language so you can look at to see it is really received the appropriate sense of the message so you don't get caught out, I love it

It's a good idea to take the Google translated text and translate it back to your own language so you can check to see it's got the right sense of the message so you don't get caught out, as per Rimar's example below.
It's also good fun to take a passage and translate it through several different languages ans see what comes back when you convert back to your own.
Yes, I always do "go and bach" in GT. Some times it omits a "not", in example.

Many times Google Translate didn’t translate emails correctly. And it was impossible to understand what I wanted to write.
You must know a bit of the other language. Use all pronouns, although it seems needless.
