But that could have more to do with how crazy the German language is ;) Downvoter(s): German sentences -are- intrinsically more complex ("crazy") on average, than English sentences. This is a known, and fairly basic point. So it's not surprising that they should be correspondingly difficult for translation algorithms to "chew on", and provide 1-1 mappings for.
