Google Translate is a great service but it clearly needs work, especially 
when it comes to translating PDF documents.

I tried to translate some German documents to English and while for the most 
part the results looked fine in the web browser (although nothing displayed 
in Internet Explorer other than the header with the document title) printing 
was another matter.  Neither Firefox (6.0) nor Chrome (13) was able to print 
what I was looking at.  They would only prepare a single page and even that 
was messed up (overlapping text, things re-arranged).

I suspect Google is getting tricky (perhaps to support the ability to 
suggest better translations) and browsers are unable to deal with whatever 
they're doing (at least when it comes to printing).  Hopefully Google is 
working on a solution because while being able to view translated PDF 
documents is very nice I think most people want a more permanent copy.  Even 
if it returned a PDF document but I guess that would break the ability to 
suggest better translations.
