I suspect Google Translate is far better starting from English. A better test would be to start from Russian and move to Spanish and then to English. Translate invariable gets the structure of the sentence wrong!
Key words come at the end of an English sentence but appear to start with key words in other languages. Btw I cannot speak any other language than English, American, Australian, Canadian, Irish, New Zealand or South African! Fucking hell I AM multi-lingual!!!
