It is actually not all that far off considering...and they have improved
since then.

Thanks to you and Phil for your advice and comments on this. But I think it
could start to get a bit too tangled for this sort of thing. If Rusty's
sister is willing to help, it would be great.

It depends a lot on how clearly you can write. If you write short
unambiguous sentences then you will get good results with machine
translation. Many modern technical words are the same in all languages
(except for those that have language police - French "Logiciel" for
instance).

At the very least you should ask the German collaborators to write to
you in German if it is much easier for them. It is unusual these days to
find German scientists without one of English or French as a second
language.
