Thank you Kevin.
Unfortunately I was too late, and as it sometimes happens, people are impressed by the quantity of references rather than their quality or source. Today on the Internet is possible to find anything. Does it means is always correct? Giving Google as reference shows only the limitations and not the knowledge of a translator.
