    When I mtl, if I read some chapters and my brain isn't adjusting I just give up. If I keep going my brain will explode.

    Also some translators use machine translation like rainbow turtle. Though her work is top notch you can't tell its machine translation

    i think you can get use to it... sometimes even if there are wrong translation in MTL you can still understand it, well if you're a veteran in reading MTL's.. :cool:

    It's like deciphering another Language that looks like English except you become dumber when you successfully decode it.

    Considering there are some typos in Your sentence, I'm not sure if You're fluent in English or not.
    Also, I'm not saying about what is right or wrong. What I mean is, there are certain difficulties to understand MTL for both native and non-native English speakers. And from what I've seen, non-native English speaker have it easier.

    The machine translation from Korean to Japanese is actually pretty good and comprehensible. I've read several really good Japanese novels that translators dropped through it. Although, a skilled translator is still much better.
