Mar 25, 2015 at 19:11 comment added Carl H Automated translation services are not always totally accurate. Unless you have a good grasp of the language that you're translating, then I'd say it's probably better to just leave the question to someone else - ideally, the OP.
Mar 4, 2015 at 12:59 comment added Jacob Vlijm @don.joey I was wondering if it would work in English :).

Feb 22, 2015 at 22:07 comment added Wilf @JacobVlijm - When I have to do it I edit in the (google) translated version and a comment that I use online translation, and leave the original (in a blockquote), so anyone who can speak the language can read it and do a proper translation without having to look in the revision history.
Feb 22, 2015 at 18:39 comment added Jacob Vlijm When I started participating on AU, I used to suggest to use Google translate. However, If you look into the history of the question, you can see what happens then. It creates a dragon of a translation, and still needs a lot of editing (which I did in this case by the way). Usually, a story by OP in his or her own words does the job better, even if the skills on English are limited. I'd rather read a authentic question than a weirdly translated one.
