Man versus Machine (Free online translations)

Computerized translation is a service freely available on the Internet. It is useful to get the basic idea of a simple foreign text. However, it has many inaccuracies and even the best online translation is hardly comparable to any human translator. In part this is because words have different meanings based on context, and computers see every word as having a single definition. Moreover, grammar rules are difficult and often bent or broken in modern languages. For all these reasons, a computer cannot yet even approximate a human translator.
