Lost in translation

Tools like the Babelfish are convenient, but they're definitely not yet a good replacement for human translators.

Consider this sentence (found on a Dutch site): In the lightly event a defect accurse, you can send it for service. On the other hand, I've seen native speakers of English whose writing abilities are just as bad, if not worse, so maybe they didn't use a machine translator.
