of a country name. Cities may be in local spelling. Go for the ropey translation of an
"English edition" over the expat-focussed coverage of many papers "in English".

Oceania was at war with Eurasia: Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.
George Orwell, 1984

And then it all makes sense.
Unnamed US State Department official,
Los Angeles Times 09/05/2003

Machine translation
Unfortunately, it's only really possible to make sense of the output of
machine translation programs if you know a language related to the original
language, so you have some idea how the "shadows" of meaning
cast by words overlap. Comparing output from two programs may help.
Learn the standard language codes!
