This is very true. I used it to translate a letter to my aunt. It's a good thing I had my Mom proofread it because there were a lot of things that were not correct - either not translated correctly, or there was no proper translation, or - the translation was culturally inappropriate as in " in that language, you'd NEVER say that!!
Your so right, hence why I don't take it to literal... :roll:
