I would aver that Google Translate is getting better. Not yet "quite good" in
Slavic languages and Hungarian. But a great help.
Google's translation service is quite good.
I had a guest from Thailand staying with us last week. Her English is
very good, but there are many words she doesn't know. I asked her if she
wanted pistachio ice cream for dessert. Then I went to Google's language
tools and translated it into Thai and showed it to her. She laughed. It
was "pistachio" spelled phonetically using the Thai alphabet. We looked
for a photograph that she recognized, the she told me that in Thai
[translated again] it's called a "smiling nut".
I can forgive its mistakes in Thai, but it really should translate
Spanish <--> English better than it does. Surprisingly the Greek <-->
English is better. It's also handy in translating Russian, since I don't
have the alphabet memorized well enough to use a dictionary.
