Mind blowing power

Now this might be a lot of nonsense, but somehow I doubt it. At a click of a button the Praise Pod website gets translated into any language - this one is in Hungarian. Now the question is, do we take it as given that the translation is accurate and not misleading. Just as we might take it as a given that a Google search (or any other search engine for that matter) generates an accurate result. . .

I'd worry if there wasn't an option to 'offer a better translation.' That's what open source collaboration is all about. If only more people saw it as their right (and even their duty) to contribute to an open source conversation. And not just about software development. This is about domocratisation of every subject; technical or not.
