Answer 2

None of them do a good job.

At best, you will get a general idea of what a piece of text is about. But seriously, go to the front page of any foreign language newspaper for instance, and try translate a news story into English. You'll get gibberish. Realise that is also the gibberish you are getting when you try to machine translate _from_ english to something else.

Try this, for instance, in altavista's german to english:
http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?lp=de_en&trurl=http%3a%2f%2frhein-zeitung.de%2fa%2fmagazin%2fr%2f
(translating the 'entertainment' front page of the Rhein Zeitung newspaper from German to English)

I'm especially fond of the story on Johnny Cash:
"36 artists render the last honour to cash
Ham­burg - three years is not already dead Johnny cash, but ver­ges­sen is it. Now there is down even „a new video to the Song” God's Gonna CUT You, in which itself 36 Kuenst­ler before the Coun­try-icon ver­nei­gen."

(and yes, babelfish is one of the best of the bunch.... and yes, the story makes perfect sense in German, and in yes, this is about how much of a mess it makes translating from English _to_ German too. Or any other language for that matter)
