I'm sorry but your translations into English are absolutely appalling and make no sense at all. If you provide your direct e-mail address i will scan the German and French to English translations. and forward to you. You will fall off your chair!

I never found an accurate translation tool even close to be called half good, even Google translation tool

Goodness me, one shouldn't laugh but… agreed the Google translator is far superior, gets my vote every time.

Wow, I was considering doing a similar experiment but you did a fantastic job. While I still would not bet my international reputation on Google's tools, those translations were extraordinarily accurate. What's really impressive is that Casablanca doesn't always use standard English syntax, which makes the task even harder.

Nice article!

I posted about another international incident possibly caused by poor online translators, and compared Babel Fish's performance with Google's alternative. Bottom line is: use Google's Language Tools, forget Babel Fish:
