That is the art of a good translator. A bad one may try to be literal, but will insert extra words to exlpain things and only muddy it up worse. I recently watched "King of the Penguins" that had Hebrew subtitles. The translation was so bad that, as I read it, you would have thought there was a different story going on. Being bi-lingual, I finally gave up on the subtitles.^An equally good explination, if not better to mine.
As for internet translations, there is a joke about Google Translate, that, in Hebrew, when it speaks of cooking or washing or cleaning, it uses female pronouns, and fun stuff, like swimming or playing, it uses male ones! Who made those decisions? I don't know.
And every translator has an agenda, the more loving will use those ideas, and the more domineering will use those. The best thing: learn the language and don't complain about the translations.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
