Mistake Example #3

Direct translations from Spanish ('It makes sense' vs. 'It has sense')

In the recent study about renewable energies, it hmasde sense to consider the impact of solar panels in urban areas. The data shows that installing these panels in cities not only reduces carbon emissions but alsoit allows for significant cost savings over time. For this reason, it is important to analyze how these technologies can be integrated into existing infrastructures, andensuringe that they provide maximum efficiency and benefit to the community.
