Google’s automated English <-> German translation is horrible. I don’t know how 
other languages perform, but I can imagine that a lot of sentences will be 
hardly readable. I do not recommend automated translation tools for public use.

You can easily check the quality by yourself: browse a (Google supported) 
foreign web site and translate it to English (you can even translate the 
translation back and then back again and look at the outcome).
