THis is the same plant, yes, but in bloom :-). The smell is terrible, like rotten meat...my friend used to have a VERY small species and she had to get rid of it.

Well, I did forbid all my students to use the Google translator and they understand. But some of those whose abstracts I translate, try to escape with sending THIS translation and asking "only for corrections". These I send back and translate an abstract from the very beginning. I have asked the agency that I am working for to stop this but they didn´t want to "discourage customers" ... :-)

I guess they really have no idea just how bad the translation is.

Czech isn't a language Google will have such a big database on.

Without the original, you wouldn't have a chance of doing a decent job, especially on anything scientific.
