where did you get your text from?

You can try the lexicon on perseus.org for the Greek, but I do not know anything about the Japanese.

The thing is, online translators only begin to become useful to someone who has a certain level of familiarity with the language, say 2 to 3 years of college.

Take this very well known sentence in French, "alouette, gentille alouette, je te plumerai." babelfish will give this, which is correct, "lark, nice lark, I will pluck you" but if you go back to French it will give this, "alouette, alouette gentille, je vous plumerai"

If you do not know the French language, you may not know the difference. And that's just a little, simple sentence. The more complicated the grammar in the target language (regardless of how straighforward it is in the original language) the worse the translations will come out.
