English to German translation issue in html for Chrome

Hello,

This is the very first message for me here, sorry if some rules are not followed precisely. So our users in Germany are very confused by Google translation and the result of the translation is 100% opposite to what supposed to be and in the end they click on the wrong button. Details. If to save on disk and open in Chrome the simple HTML:

 

 

<html>
<body >
    <input type="submit" name="Allow" value="Allow" id="Allow" >
    <input type="submit" name="Cancel" value="Cancel" id="Cancel">
</body>
</html>

 

 

and the to translate to German the translation will be:

 

 

<html>
<body >
    <input type="submit" name="Allow" value="Abbrechen " id="Allow" >
    <input type="submit" name="Cancel" value="zulassen" id="Cancel">
</body>
</html>

 

 

 

and this is the 100% opposite result for both buttons. If in English the word "Allow" to replace by the word "Approve" then the translation works fine - including the second button even though we do not change it!

 

OK, this is not super critical and urgent but might be interesting enough bug report for the API developers.

 

Thank you
