Were you able to make heads or tails out of it?

Btw, here is an interesting sample for the idea of back translation.  Since it obviously is a machine translation version of the English, if it were back translated it would demonstrate that the original meaning was (apparently) reflected.  Except that the German is incomprehensible.
