Remember that using these settings you can enter Romanian characters using ALT-GR even when current language is English. This is important because if you do not follow this you may have problems in Microsoft Office because the English spellchecker will not work because it will be confused by the current language settings. 

By looking at this we can draw some conclusions:

• Google didn’t use machine translation when localizing Google Groups
• The translators made a poor job – they used an non-existent verb for “post” (send a message)
• If they had any QE they did a really poor job
• They do not have a spell check test included in the localization process.
• There is no way of submitting errors inside the translations

I suppose now, nobody will disclose the name of the vendor working on this

Few days ago Google silently launched Google Profiles and here I’ve encountered a classical “out of context” translation bug. They translated the phone type “home” as “home page” in Romanian instead of using “at home”. This kind of error is classical on machine translation but I’m afraid that their machine translator could do a better job. Sad, but I wasn’t able to translate the same page using their online translation engine.
