If you ever need any help with Dutch, just let me know. I speak a word or 2

Hells yeah. After creating the .pot (Portable Object Template) file I quickly learned Google Translate is no substitution for a native speaker.
I'll send you a free copy to play with too.

Yeah! I have just been updating adverts for sponsors, which involves checking over their tours for ideas and I just found this beauty of a translation on an amateur bondage site:

This is the right place to stick to if you want to relax and please your naughty mind. Sign up to be the king of the amateur porn with exclusive updates brought straight to your member’s account. The abilities of your private room cannot be described with one sentence, so you should see it yourself and the ladies suffering the disgustingly pleasant copulations will surely make you sweat.

However I consider this bad translation to be a good thing. It emphasises the "foreignness" of the site and I can sell that as a reason it is a "better buy" than a homegrown site (foreign = more mysterious, more kinky).
