Similar to wwwagners post below I have notice misstranslations by
Google translate text which likely have resulted from the use of
suggest better translation.

In addition to wwwagers note about Brazil -->  USA   I have at other
times seen the word Italiano translated as "English"

More disturbingly the phrase

"En outre, nous pouvons constater qu'une odeur de cadavre a été
détectée dans le jardin contigu à l'appartement 5A. Rien n'a été
détecté dans les autres habitations."

Is translated as

In addition, we can smell that a body was found in the garden adjacent
to the apartment 5A. Nothing has been detected in other homes.

Whereas it should translate as

Furthermore, [b]we can make note that [/b]a cadaver odor has been
detected in the garden next to appartment 5A.  Nothing has been
detected in the other homes.

I have suggested a better translation to fix this problem but it
appears that someone may have been jerking Google around using the
suggest a better translation feature.  Adding a single space in the
phrase resulted in a correct translation so it seems that a bunch of
the dips from a certain anti Madeleine McCann hate site have been
specifically mistranslating that piece of text for Google.

Is there some way of contacting the designers of the Google translate
tool so that mischief of this sort can be prevented or easily detected
and corrected.

If not Google translate runs the risk of becoming like the Dirty
Hugarian to English phrase book in the Monty Python sketch
