Nothing is less reliable than an automatic translator !
However, we have found deceptive advertising in magazines.

Try to translate the following English sentence
using an Automatic Translator :

'I am a fan of this technology'

Ich bin einen Ventilator von dieser Technologie Soy un ventilador de esta tecnología Je suis un ventilateur de cette technologie Sono un ventilatore di questa tecnologia Ik ben een ventilator van deze technologie Sou um ventilador desta tecnologia

The correct translations are :

Ich bin einen Fan von dieser Technologie Soy un fan de esta tecnología Je suis un fan de cette technologie Sono un fanatico ammiratore di questa tecnologia Ik ben een fan van deze technologie Sou um fan desta tecnologia

As you can notice in this example, the English sentence to translate is very simple. However, the translations provided by the Automatic Translator are very silly...

Note about automatic translators :
Reading all these examples, you have noticed that the automatic translation results are unpredictable and are very bad in general... Then, if the quality of an automatically translated text is so poor, you will have to thoroughly revise and post edit it in order to obtain a good translation (how to do that if you don't have a good knowledge of the target language...) !
Then, automatic translators will help you to produce texts that won't be understood by your addressees...
Can you imagine how incomprehensible will be an automatically translated text of 1 page for example? There will be mistranslations everywhere! You will be no further on than you were before...
