Let me explain more:
When you are for example providing translation from english to spanish or english to deutsch then you must be fluent at english and fluent at spanish (first case) or deutsch (second case).
Some people are not very fluent on the language they are willing to translate or just for example still in A1 in deutsch then when they are hired in a job for translate from english to deutsch they use google translator which is fully burned of errors in grammar, punctuation, syntax, spelling and then do one or two corrections and then submit the translated result.
This is a bad practice and leads to decline job geek on the freelancing platforms as the person offering the geek or the job has also the ability to use google translate to check if it is used for translation or not.
If you do not understand what I mean you could ask I may detail more details.
