Definition of double-Dutch

I'm fluent in many languages (English, American, Scots, the Doric, Deutschlish, Franglais, Swenglish, Anglo Saxon...) but the project I'm working on at the moment has me stumped.

I'm editing a document that was written in Finnish, Google-translated into English and revised by a Swede.

The result is double-Dutch.
