The following is a result of a LinkedIn posting to promote our own company, Translation Services LTD, yesterday on June 20, 2016. Initially, we were going to place the following line in German for the fun of it.
“Translation Services LTD production department is getting a “make over”. We strive to improve to better serve our clients. Contact us at 414-395-3693 or 414-369-9346.”
Instead of asking one of our German translators, we thought that we must be able to find a “free online translation system” that could do the job. However, we wanted to be sure so we tested four different “free” sights. First, the translation did not cost us any money. Second, here are the results from this experiment:

As you can see no two are alike. Thus for the average consumer, which one would you trust? How would you verify which one (if any) is correct? I have a feeling in some fashion that each one is correct, to varying degrees.
Finally, any one of these “free” online services could have cost us how much? Bottom line: how much could it be costing you?
