That's your side of the medal. Since most translation software is made 
by English-speaking people, translating from some other language to 
English works better than the reverse.
In my experience the reverse doesn't work at all.

It's not a miracle when "web" is translated as "photoreceptor", or any 
other funny word. The main D page translated in Italian makes no sense, 
so it helps no-one having it.

Still, I've made some good laugh with it.
