TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Clearly translation is part of the problem, but some of those convolutions have to be beyond even auto-trans to create.
Although, knowing nothing about Asian languages, maybe there's a built-in complexity that auto-trans exaggerates.

I think when you see things like this happen today on anything more
complex than a pocket mp3 player, it's probably an indication that
something in the native language was autotranslated and not edited.
