Mach trans isnt supposed to be as good as people are. 
It cant by definition ever be -- because machines are
machines, and people are not... But it's a tool to
throw stuff out there in more or less like the way the
language should look. There's noone here who reads
French or German who cant figure out pretty easily
what machine translated German/French paragraphs are.
There is usually a term or two which it totally flubs.
 ( like the word flubs!)

~S~

Nod.
Like the machine translation of "Esperanto sucks",
which is Espéranto suce.

(hum, blow job right ?)
