Upset with the use of translators for spanish subtitles

These bad subs are from different dramas different subbers. Some are from Spanish to English, others are from English to Spanish. In my opinion English to Spanish subs are the worst, since they are done completely, word by word with the use of a translator. How can Rakuten Viki put more effort and try to stop this from happening here so much? I have reported several subbers that make the subtitles word by word with obviously the use of a translator. Even after I reported them, they are right n…
