Word order depends on the language.
For example.
A word-for-word translation of
Don't talk crap (Moenie kak praat nie) is
Don't crap talk not.
In terms of word order, English is really mostly the exception.
Some may interpret that as
"Talk crap" with the two negatives canceling.

This demonstrates that a deeper understanding of a language is needed other than just looking up individual words.
So we have to rely on language experts in at least the target and the source languages.
