It is all pointless! Let the fandom decide whose translations are worthy! People can tell if something was translated by a machine.

Example: 遠い記憶に透き通る声が   僕を思い出させてくれる

Google Translate: Crystal-clear voice to distant memory reminds me of me

Correct: A transparent voice makes me remember my distant memory.

The machine translation is obviously full of grammatical errors, and the sentence doesn't even make sense. The correct one was translated with prior experience (3-4 years) with the Japanese language and the aid of an online dictionary.
