Totally unreadable and actually much further from carrying the true meaning of what was originally said than somebody without even the slightest notion of the original language could figure out by himself with a lot of time, a dictionary and sufficient stock of aspirin. This one is no different. "Bummer" and "scoop" have not somehow transferred to either french or german but are simply unknown to the translator and are therefore assumed to be names and hence force don't translate at all. (I'd rather use the pixels for some more google ads or ohter gadgets if I were you). With german being my first language, I can tell you that most automatic translation utilities produce utter junk.
