Qualora la comodataria ritardi la restituzione del bene comodato, dovrà pagare al comodante una penale pari ad € 720,00.

ENGLISH

The comforter undertakes not to use the comfortable thing for purposes and uses other than those indicated in art.2 and always in the exclusive interest of the Comodonte, undertakes to keep the above indicated well with the utmost care and diligence and to return it immediately at the request of the owner in the conditions in which it was delivered, except the normal despair of use.
If the commune delays the return of the comfortable property, it will have to pay the commune a penalty of € 720,00.

Would be nice to have a simple installer for Mac, the possibility to use your own TMX files for training, your own glossaries with preferred terms, and have API integration in CafeTran (www.cafetran.com ).

I fed it some fragments in French, Russian and Czech to be translated into English. Unfortunately, output quality is about two decades behind today's MT.
