I guess you can find rather unprofessional people in all professions. Examples like the one posted by the people at this blog shouldn´t be taken seriously. If you are contracting a professional translation service i don´t think you should worry that much. Humans are humans after all but a professional service provides some type of guarantee for what you need translated. As for freelancers who make mistakes, just watch out!

Every sector is, at some point, criticized by showing some examples found in really strange places.

How embarrassing for all! It just shows that there are many translators out there acting as professionals. How can you really trust your translator or translation service provider, especially nowadays with new translation websites springing up every second and so called e-lancers on a budget fighting for jobs? Anyone can do it, thus, translation quality is becoming worse year upon year. I bet that translator is not going to put that experience down on their CV. How embarrassing for all!
