Why do you hate content made available in another language through automatic means? I've read lots of things auto-translated into English and it's always at least acceptable.
Translation from languages I don't know to English is fine with me.
Translation from well written text in languages I know to absolute garbage in my native language, that is what I hate.
Edit: I see you have a point. I missed the fact that GP was translating German to English.
I guess people who knows German slightly better than me (I can make myself understood and have used it as a working language for a very short while) will hate auto translated German almost as much as I and others hate autotranslated English, but not quite as much:
A lot of the problem with autotranslated text is that the physical thing or software we are supoosed to use still has English user interfaces so we are left trying to decode what the original text said.
There are obviously translation tools out there if you want to use them for yourself. But it seems fairly obvious to me that it's not desirable to flood the web and search results with a bunch of barely/sort-of understandable text that is the output of ML translation.
That said I won't do it and I'll rather want people to tell these stories instead of keeping quiet.
That said: everyone else, stop now before we need to dust off the venerable LOIC technology and nuke you from orbit ;-)
(just joking, I won't do that but I also won't do business with anyone who pollutes the Internet with that kind of cr@p if I have alternatives.)
