translating scratch

(GB) if people use scratch in a different speech then use google translate

(FR) si les gens utilisent de zéro dans un discours différent, puis utiliser google translate

(SP) si la gente usa cero en un discurso diferente a continuación, utilizar el traductor de google

(DH) als mensen gebruik maken van het niets in een andere toespraak dan gebruik google translate

translating scratch

I'm guessing you used google translate for that.

It's not very accurate, as when I read the french one, “scratch” was translated literally into “from zero” (like “from scratch”).

It might work for some things, but it is a bit hard to read.

Yup. Google translate doesn't work well for some langauages.
Example:
Do you have an downloadable version so I can create and view projects offline?
The Scratch 2 offline editor (beta version) is now available. You can also still use Scratch 1.4. Note: You can have both Scratch 1.4 and 2 on your computer.
Google Translate (English → German):
Haben Sie einen Download-Version, so kann ich erstellen und Projekte Ansicht offline?
Die Scratch 2 Offline-Editor (Beta-Version) ist jetzt verfügbar. Sie können auch noch Scratch 1.4 zu verwenden. Hinweis: Sie können sowohl Scratch 1.4 und 2 auf Ihrem Computer.
While the actual german translation is:
Gibt es eine Downloadversion, mit der ich Projekte offline erstellen und betrachten kann?
Der Offline-Editor für Scratch 2 (Beta-Version) ist nun verfügbar. Du kannst weiterhin auch Scratch 1.4 benutzen. Beachte, dass du Scratch 1.4 und 2 parallel auf deinem Computer haben kannst.

DH is not Dutch (the Netherlands), but the text you wrote is in (very horrible) Dutch.
Please don't use Google Translate for larger texts; it's unreliable.

Although sometimes Google Translate can be kinda funny - I typed a passage, translated it a couple of times, and then translated it back to English. Here's the result -
Hey, what you love with your name, cheese, peas and Chinese lines, and in circumstances which may be difficult to understand how to write, these are: the most confusion I do not support the type of sugar!

Because it is impossible yet.

all you have to do is go to the bottom of the page & you will see that somewhere it will say “English” scroll down and choose your language. ;);)

Like many people said above, Google Translate is not useful to translate sentences, so I don't highly recommend using it.
