It is as good as it is, but obviously I assume you don't speak Japanese (in
your example) so you have no idea how good the translation is. Just keep in

or the other way around and these are languages I am fluent in so I can tell.
My recommendation is that if you want to do this that you use simple language
and simple, short sentences.
