Ever since I played with multibabel a few years back, I haven't trusted
online translation services much.

   http://www.tashian.com/multibabel/

The site takes a phrase and runs it through five different languages one
at a time, translating to English in between.  For example, 

   'Check for scarring along the stems.'

becomes

   'It examines, the end to mark the length of the registry.'

I sent this to a friend who translated tests with a company that produced
standardized pre-college exams; she had a blast forwarding to all of the 
proponents of online translation services there.  :)
