Thanks for this "I love you" -statement for human translators who actually
DO their work.
translating myself I KNOW how utterly f* up some translations are - especially those where some smartasses think "Goo Translate is good enough" or a translation across three or four languages *sigh
Often enough I just don't know if I should just bleed from my eyes or chew up my keyboard...
Translation is much alike good typesetting or sysadmin work - most people don't not notice it until it's ABSENT. So yes I know what you mean.
hugs, F.
