We could put at the top of the Laws page a disclaimer, saying that due to the laws being auto-translated that they must not be considered as binding in any other language but English, and sorry for the bad translations due to technical language (or something to that effect).

The issue of legality has been bugging me, but that addresses the issue perfectly. Either the way you put it, or "where there are discrepencies between the english or the translated version, the english version shall be considered the definitive version" ...something along those lines.

Other than that issue I think it's great! Anything that makes the laws more accessible to a wider audience can only help.

Good idea the text, can we agree on a text to write at the top ( i think it will appear on all pages as it is in a widget) so I can add it. I leave that to you people more versed in the English language :P

OK, after reading over some disclaimers on other sites that use translation services, here's my suggestion:

Translations on this site are performed by Google Translate. Please note that some text may not be translated accurately. In the case of discrepancies between the English version original text and the translated version of a law or laws, the English text shall prevail.

Sounds perfect to me, all agreed for this text at top of pages?
