   This made me think of something that my (German) grandfather used to say:

   "Warum es einfach machen wenn es so sch”n kompliziert sein kann."

   According to Google Translate it means:

   "Why make it easy if it can be so complicated."

   I disagreed, it missed the entire thought behind it, so I suggested the 
following:

   "Why make it easy if it can be made so beautifully complicated."

   Was I wrong? RFC!

   And yes, it's suggestions like this by anyone, that makes Google Translate 
better and better all the time. I've done it a lot of times, mostly when 
translating to Swedish, but also to English. I urge all of you who enjoy this 
fantastic service by Google to make your contributions.
