If translation of conversational phrases is hard, translating technical terms is ten times as harder. I am rather surprised that Michael understands your (automatic) translations rather easy

You are absolutely right, 'Nando,

I am just a bit confused when Fernando K. uses key for lock, whereas key means llave and lock would be cierre - on both a door and a weapon.
