I get to use translators occasionally at work.  It can be a fascinating exercise.  I'll ask a potentially complicated question- something like "How many children in your family?"; there'll be an animated exchange for about 5 minutes (well, I'm  busy.  Time flies), and then the interpreter turns around and with a dead straight face says "two."

I'm never sure whether to laugh or cry at that point.  You know you're missing something; however, to find out what it was you've got to question the integrity of the only person who  can give you the answers you're looking for.  Usually, giving it up for a lost cause is the most sensible option.
