Nobody does it better...
I'm currently in the process of translating (among other things, phew) Philo's wonderful "The Apple Tree", and am thrilled to see the author excited and pleased at the reviews. Having sent her a translated batch of those just today, I can't help myself - must quote a bit of her reply:

"I was so excited today to get your email that I tried an online translator on some of the reviews, with predictably hilarious results! And then I tried it on the first couple of lines of the story, which meant it started, "By Harry it slipped into "perforated boiler" and leaned on the wall, as soon as door with the quiet knock was shut after its back." I thought, perforated boiler? And then I realised that was how it was translating the Leaky Cauldron, which made me die laughing!"

Yeah. That's what I call gratifying. :)
