nobleheart: I don't have any hard numbers about translators. What I do know is the only really good translation software is an audio translation software being developed(i think by MIT). The free translators though on the market are beter then nothing. They definetly are not perfect and a human could do a much beter job. My point was that in my experience they usually work enough to let you have an idea of what they are trying to say. Not the exact words they used just an idea.
