    I would agree but you had no clue what it was before translation but after you do have some clue as to what it is, even if parts are wrong you have more information than what you started with.

    And going from one language to another and back it going to increase the error more than if you just translate it once.
    First para agrees with my points: OK for general idea, but no good for anything important.

    Second para correct only up to a point. You would think more errors are introduced over two translations, but, in fact, in the example given, there are various errors in the French that are corrected (fortuitously) in the final English version.

    Apologies for off-topic blether. End.

    My tip for Monday is Master of Arts Chepstow 15:30

    Slim pickings in terms of odds on favourites on BH Monday & not hugely confident on this one....5 wins in a row - not sure I'll get a 6th.

    Paul must be an Employee :)

    As for Elizabeth there could be two or more of them living in Swansea.
