The biggest "DON'T" of all

Do not, under any circumstances, use a computer translation! This is the biggest "nay nay" of all. In the world of translation, as for almost everything else, you get what you pay for. And just to prove my point, I went to Google Translate and typed in a French sentence (« Même si au premier abord la traduction semble passable, un ordinateur ne peut comprendre et traduire le ton d'un document »). Here is the English translation: *"Although at first the translation seems fair, a computer can understand and translate the tone of a document."* Not only does this sentence sound weird in English, but it should have been "a computer cannot understand". Now, can you image the damage on a 30 page document? I rest my case...
