Pretty pictures, terrible translation

This magazine features some very nice projects that are well-executed. If you are already familiar with the techniques, you can pretty well figure out what is being done and why, so there is some instructional value. Seeing what can be done with a technique you already know can be useful.

However, if you are trying to learn new techniques, the English translation of this magazine is very poorly done. It looks like they just took the original text, ran it through Google Translate, and called it good enough. For example, in the article about the Imperial Stormtrooper, it says, "A stormtrooper suit also contains a belt for team, linkage of communications, hook of climb, wives and macrobinoculars." Put that same accuracy of translation up against technique explanation, and... it just doesn't work.
