There is something strange, in the Arabic article both the human and the Google translation say "[..] soccer great Diego Maradona" where as the original arabic there is no mention of anything resembling "great".
Was the human translator influenced by the Google result ? or is Diego Maradona always referred to as "soccer great Diego Maradona" in English press and google is picking up on that?
Edit:I suppose it is the latter since the Human translator was not trying to have a correct reference translation for testing the engines. He totally skipped translating the words " in South Africa ".
Imho, this makes the results much less interesting.
Also in the french translation it is interesting that "Le premier soir" translates as "The first evening" if you type it in google without the rest of the sentence, but becomes "The first night" after you put it in context.

He totally skipped translating the words " in South Africa ". Each human translation also has the source below it, which ranges from old classics to relatively recent publications. So, yes, the human translators were not trying to have a correct reference translation, which imho makes it only more interesting. > becomes "The first night" after you put it in context. which makes me suspect this one happened to one of the inputs used to train the translator also.
