Doesn't China have any good translators left?

I'm looking at buying a new transmitter for my helicopters. I found one on bidproduct that seems very cheap for it's capabilities.

One of the features I always check is failsafe settings. If the receiver loses signal, what settings can i give the receiver so it can cause the least amount of harm or damage. So I downloaded the manual, this is their section on failsafes.

Model lost in the remote control transmitter signal when the implementation of dynamic
self-help movement. This action is stored in a set of 8-channel receiver, by the user to set
their own store.

Method: Open the first remote control transmitter, receiver after the opening, to ensure
that the receiver Always light, can be normal to accept instructions. Press the button on
the receiver to keep 2 seconds until the light is off, said the store began to manipulate the
action, this time to send button to open soon in the remote control transmitters operate on
self-help movement to do that in 5 seconds after the re-turn on the light before the operation
In the remote control transmitter made on the operation of action will be down the memory.
If the indicator light turns off so that the buttons did not release the button until the indicator
light to turn on, it will lift the self-storage process moves.

I wish this kind of thing was incidental, but a lot of these Chinese manufacturers seem to be competing with each other to see who can get the most gibberish in their manuals.

This is complete and utter bollocks. You cannot tell me that there aren't any decent translators in China, certainly Hong Kong and Shanghai should be filled with them.

They probably use on-line translation software to save costs because whenever you hear a native Chinese person speaking English, their accent may be hard to understand but all the words are in the right place.

They probably don't care what you think, or if you can understand. As long as you buy their product.

Well thats just it. I would more than likely have bought the product if the manual had made any sense. But after downloading the 30 pages of this gibberish, which they laughingly referred to as the improved manual, I decided not to.

I have heard that Chinese language is very simplistic. Where we would say, "John goes to the car." The Chinese literal translation would be "John go car."
