Really disgusting, not the vulgar part Jan 18, 2016

but that anyone would attempt to translate the gems of world poetry, the real treasures that the human kind was capable of producing (not too many things are of great value that the civilization has produced) using such inaccurate, unprofessional methods, most likely even MT. Total ignorance on the part of the translator. How vulgar and inaccurate could the existing translations have been? I do not buy it, somehow. He probably just put it through the mincer.
