#2: Initial revision
You can't guarantee the reader will make sense of your translated text without a layer of human intervention. If anything, you should have two: one who _is_ an expert in the field, to make sure content wasn't lost in translation, and one to read for native-language coherence. Translating text is not like changing fonts. You must have a human read it at some point. A machine may perfectly render "Sei una testa di cipuda" into "You are an onion-head," but it loses the actual _sense_ of "You're an idiot." Or "calzaiuolo," which literally means a cobbler or shoemaker, but has the slang sense of "has bigoted social attitudes stuck in the past."
