Same with a translation: people only notice that there's serious work behind the scenes if said is lacking. And the translation sucks. Otherwise - no matter how complex the source text was, there 'll be always at least one idiot leafing trough the target text saying "oh, that's all?" + either asking if Google translate couldn't have done it, or saying to his (bilingual) secretary: "You could actually have hacked that down somewhen in between." No joke - been there, seen it, got both t-shirts.
