It could be worse...

We could always just write everything in RDF: that way machine
translators wouldn't have a problem!  And look at how *precise*
everything is:

"D is a statically typed programming language, and compiles directly to
machine code."

<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.digitalmars.com/d/"
xmlns:pl="http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/ProgrammingLanguage#">
<pl:type-system>static</pl:type-system>
<pl:compiles-to>native</pl:compiles-to>
...

"It's multiparadigm, supporting many programming styles: imperative,
object oriented, and metaprogramming."

<pl:paradigms>
<pl:ParadigmList>
<pl:paradigm>imperative</pl:paradigm>
<pl:paradigm>object-oriented</pl:paradigm>
<pl:paradigm>metaprogramming</pl:paradigm>
</pl:ParadigmList>
</pl:paradigms>
...

I'm curious as to whether this sort of ambiguity is a problem for other
languages?  Is it much easier to translate *to* English than *from* it?
