El Heraldo de la Traducción: ¡Qué linda «camisinha»!

Hello! Can anyone clarify the exact terminology for U.S. English? I know that "Domanda Ricovenzionale" is Cross-Complaint, but I don't know about "Memoria Difensiva" -- Is this a memo or actually a brief, in legal language?

A group of volunteer translators played an obscene prank on...

I was approached 'cold' for this opportunity by a group with no business name attached, the email was signed simply "Business and Wedding Group".

Despite Word's widespread use, all too many users have never read on-line help, or have tried "pick and click" trial-and-error methods to achieve proper document structure and formatting.

J'avais également repéré ce service mais le trouve relativement mauvais - j'ai pris un texte que j'ai mis dans Google Translate, et j'ai inséré la version d'origine et la version traduite par GT : le système n'a trouvé aucune correspondance avec GT et 7% avec Babelfish donc au final en a conclu la même chose que le commentaire ci-dessus. Assez édifiant quand même. Automatiser la gestion de projet pourquoi pas ? Mais alors pour des petits projets, avec un contexte facile et des contenus non ambigus… mais dans ce cas je serais tentée de dire que passer par un traducteur freelance est quand même bcp plus sympathique si on veut réduire les coûts par rapport à une agence de trad.

Whether because it's not used appropriately or because it contrasts to the usually formal French spoken by foreigner, I don't know. Any idea ? ;)
