Hi Scott, Machine translation is far from perfect, and can lead to very erroneous statements in your documentation - especially if it's used by non-native speakers and/or localizers lacking experience in your industry's domain knowledge.
Your best bet is to use a company specializing in localization services who can help you not only with translation but with improving your overall approach to your localization workflow, from template improvements to writing style improvements to best suit global audiences. I've copied a colleague of mine in on this discussion. I suggest you drop him a line, as at a minimum he can help you best orient yourself to approaching a localization project.
