They can already translate far better than a human if that human happens 
to be me. You don't have to read it if you don't want to -- just cover 
your eyes ;) <Ils peuvent déjà traduire bien meilleur qu'un humain si 
cet humain s'avère justement être moi. Vous ne devez pas le lire si vous

Thank you Brion. But it doesn't seem to go the other way. So you'll have 
to put up with French. <Merci Brion. Mais il ne semble pas aller l'autre 
manière. Ainsi vous devrez accepter le français.>

Machine translation:

:Experimentally, during the next days I will not speak in English in
:Vikipedio. In order to contact me, without fail use Esperanto or
:French! If you do not speak those languages, should search for
:translator. I hope to demonstrate slightly somewhat the frustrate which

:bothers.

Fine by me. Go for your life. <Fin par moi. Allez pendant votre vie.>
