CAVEAT EMPTOR
Be cautious when using translation software. Why?
Item. If I translate an article I have written from English
to Spanish, typically my name is translated as well. 'Ron Mader'becomes
'Ron más loco' (literally the 'maddest Ron').
There are also problems of translating languages into English,
well-documented in Signs
of Confusion, a World Hum feature by Ralf Potts.
