We got that far, but the problem with google translate is that you never know if it's giving you a literal translation or something that is actually used by native speakers.
Literal translations can turn out very wrong!

To be fair, I'd trust your instincts. Your English language skills are way better than most British or American people I know!

Thank you.
I do know my limitations though, and they lie right at the edge of the gravel path!

I regularly write something and know it's just not quite right, even if it isn't exactly wrong either. And the amount of words I have to choose from is much smaller than a native speaker has.
