The true test of any translation program, whether it be language,
mathematical computations, or scientific formulae, is to re-translate back
to the original, using as many steps as practical. Sometimes very comical
results ensue.

Here's what happens using a simple English sentence, translated to Dutch,
then back to English, using the www.tranexp.com site:

English:

"I wish to be heard, NOW!!!"

Dutch:

MIJ wil voor zitten verstaan , Wel!!!

English:

MY wish until sit understand , Well-being!!!

I suggest that you get a human to do the translation, so that you don't
start an international diplomatic crisis.
