Answer 2

Google Translate is pretty good, but the reason it's better than most automated translators is also the reason it comes up with some really bizarre things every once in a while, too. It has a guessing mechanism in its little robot brain that goes on translations it's found, but because it's a bit experimental, you sometimes find the odd results. My guess is that this is one of them. You can read about the way it translates differently here.
