Seeing as how you don't know any Japanese, I wouldn't insult Mr. Kono's translator like that. Show her some respect. Two things:

-I do know some Japanese (very little, but some), and I know that translating between the two is extremely difficult. Which leads to the next thing;

-I do have respect for her. Google translate isn't bad at what it does, but it's not easy to get the message across.

It's important for a Japanese company to have a good English translator, since America is such a huge consumer of electronics and as such a large part of their market. So I'm a little miffed that she's not great, which is kind of the reaction I should have in this situation. It's not my responsibility to learn Japanese so I can understand the developer, it's their responsibility to have it translated for me so their market can understand them.

Please don't mistake my frustration for entitlement.
