Lang validator bug or just google?

Lang validator bug in API with Google?
Working in Spanish translation I have noticed something rather odd, please see the code below:

I believe the Google translate API might be corrupting the file. Took me a couple of hours to find why the language made everything blank on the page when applied.

We'll take a look.. The google translator is not ideal, even when it doesn't botch up the file, and they sometimes change how their response is returned so we have to change how we parse it.

We recommend going through the language file line by line when doing a google translation.
