Lost in Translation
 

Online free translation packages are fine for a few words or sentences. Google Translate is one example.
 

​But when you need official translations, especially legal documents, then use an approved translator. Sentence construction, hampered by nuances, makes it easy for the meaning to be lost in translation.
 

​Birth, marriage and death certificates are difficult, particularly as they may be partly hand written.
 

The local authorities you are dealing with will advise what needs to be officially translated.
