On translation
Last night I went out to my local Mexican restaurant for dinner. They still had the special Valentine's Day menu up, and at the recommendation of the staff I ordered their steak dinner. It came with something called "esquites" which I had never heard of. I put that into Google Translate and got back "sky."
Esquites is "Mexican Street Corn Salad." It's very tasty. The bigger point is this - translation is an art, not a science.
