Google Translate produces very good English. The only thing that *may* not
be right is the advice in "Testing the Configuration" which says "The
easiest way to check whether the RTC has worked is to switch off the device
and then reboot it for a few hours." I wonder whether it should say "The
easiest way to check whether the RTC has worked is to switch off the device
for a few hours and then reboot it." Google's version implies that you got
through shutdown/reboot cycles for a couple of hours ;-)  That's Google's
mistake: the German gets it right, as far as I can tell from my O level
German.
