Google translate is very basic and not even close to something good if you already know both languages. Useful if you're translating to your language (you do the correction when reading), but can lead to confusion the other way.

Interesting distinction.

If you can do the correction when reading, it seems reasonable to assume the reader in the opposite direction has the same correction capability.

I would expect the chance of confusion to be identical. The only difference is a matter of perspective, where in one case you are the reader and in one case you are the author.

Yes, they are identical. But I believe the reader is better armed to deal with the confusion, or at least to recognize the error, because it does not fit it. But when producing, you don't know the target language, so there's a better chance for errors to slip in unnoticed.

It's better for me to receive a text in the original language and translate it myself than to try to decipher something translated automatically.
