I literally ran the post through Google Translate before I approved it in the first place (got the same result Boggyman did).

I suggest reporting posts that seem disagreeable. Cuts down on this sort of public conundrum. :)

Why so? Did you read the screenshot i did post? That's the same text but completely other results. It did look like spam for me.

And thus, my advice becomes even more substantial.

I'll ask you a question. What does the word Mast mean? for example, here (#OffTheBeatenTrail (F, Mud,Mast). It is not in the text of the story itself. And the meaning that the translator gives me is a pole or a mast (in the sense of a pole on a ship for sails, and the like). But this is clearly something else.This is exactly the kind of area where a non-living translator is unlikely to help, because languages have so many subtleties that even the best translator will not always immediately understand.

I decided to run the text through Google Translate again, and experimented with other languages for the source text, and the first one I tried, German, produced the exact same results as in the screenshot.
