Compared to Japanese, "I have in Berlin been" almost sounds natural.

In Japanese, you'd say "Berlin ni ita", or translating rather literally, "Berlin in was". You'd omit the "I", which can lead to some interesting misunderstandings.

Needless to say, Google translate borders on useless here.

See, "I have in Berlin been" is 100% understandable at least to me... it might even be archaic but valid English grammar.

> I think german grammar is really diferent from english. For example they make a sandwich with verbs. For example:

> I have been in Berlin. vs I have in Berlin been.

Here's another example: "I took out the trash" vs "I took the trash out".

Humans should be able to mostly understand word-for-word literal translations between English and German (in both directions).
