Google translate sucks!

There are some nuances to successful translation. For example Four more years literally translates to Quatro mas anos (please pardon the missing punctuation) in Spanish. But if you went to a Spanish speaking country, their equivalent translation would be Quatro anos mas. And then there is the matter of brand names - the Mister Clean product in the U.S. becomes Maestro Limpio south of the U.S. border with Mexico. Maestro generally translates to master in Spanish.

I haven't seen how the translators handle these nuances.

PA - thank you again for providing the edit function. I used it to edit some typos in my post above.

But is it going to get grammar correct? Grammar is a horrible nightmare when people use things like Google Translate...
