Odd, I can't reply to your secondary post
So... I take it you speak both Chinese & English, Steemit is predominately in English and if you go to it in Chinese it will ask if you want it translated to Chinese, but will it translate a random comment that was in German let's say to Chinese?

I think I need you to pass that coffee my way bud :)

You are quite correct in your idioms. Heck, even in the screen shot I posted the German to English translation via translate.google.com didn't 100% translate into a grammatically correct English sentence.
In this case in particular however, given the surrounding context, I feel that I was able to accurately understand the poster's comment.

Damn, now you have given me an idea. I wonder if there was someway you could take the translations of the best 5 translators out there, like the ones you mentioned, have them all translate the same thing, and then have some sort of algorithm to merge those five together when an inaccuracy is found to have better shot of getting the translation correct....

Jia You to your next post, I will look for it!
