Make sure not to leave your passport at home
Achten Sie darauf nicht, lassen Sie Ihren Pass zu Hause
CafeTran just wanted me to accept this German sentence
Sorry, here's the retranslation (for Robin and all the others): "Don't care, leave your passport at home"

At least if you do forget your passport, you can blame it on technology ...

the German sentence states: not sure, leave your passport at home 
So why does CafeTran not know this?

If you type the Dutch sentence:
Er klopt helemaal niets van deze vertaling
into GT, you will get (in EVERY language):
There is nothing wrong with this translation
Which is the exact opposite of what was said. And the exact opposite of the process itself.
(more or less literal translation of the Dutch:
There is-correct entirely nothing of this translation)

I still wonder why most MT intentionally give opposite translation of phrases. MT omits adverbs e.g. not, no .... and the translated sentence comes into a disaster.
Can programmers fix this algorithm of weak point?

Was it CafeTran that suggested this translation, or rather any of the engines for Machine Translation, that can be integrated (by default MyMemory, optional Yandex, Google Translate and Microsoft Translator)?

I don't remember exactly but as I don't (and didn't) have any external MT engine activated it probably came from inside.
