Unbelievable! Amazon sells Google translated classics!
Unbelievable is a groce understatement!!
They sell Shakespeare, Conan Doyle etc. books that are translated with Google Translator!!
At least 1400 of their non-english book are such.
Ridicilous manure that one can hardly understand for the most part. It's not illegal though, so everything is fine !
Has any of you ever bought a Mercedes with a lawn mower engine? Would that be legal?
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

Was "groce" a Google translation too?   (Obviously, one of the guys who writes assembly instructions for a living had some free time.  )

 Anyway. I'm quite shocked, because that is cheating. Even if the book only costs 3-6 euros, if you can't read it, someone is stealing.

If the folks here would get DOS version of Cakewalk 3 when paying/downloading SONAR X3 they propably wouldn't understand the comedy value of it Seriously, that is so clearly cheating, even though not illegal (!!!), that I can't understand how they can get away with it. Thinking about the potential volumes in Amazon, say, 10 000 times 3-7 euros is already a nice income. That is litterally the same as selling food and delivering sand.

Yes, no problem, as long as the buyers know what they're buying, but they give fake translators' names for those Google-translated books.

Yeah, but maybe we've stumbled across a wonderful stoner party game. Pick a paragraph from say, Jane Austin, and run it through English to something back to English. ROFL-ing ensues.

Yes, but we have taken game on a wonderful Stoner party. Select (such as Jane ·) Austin, and run it through the English language back to English. ROFL Ing the attendant.

That's just poor, and also completely unfair!
So much translation work is endless manual localizations, it's enough to drive a language nerd insanse, but novels would be much more fun! I'm sure robots would prefer the manuals!
But it is very disappointing how crap machine translation still is...
