They should test it on Finnish.
Every computer-based translator gets Finnish terribly, terribly wrong.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72016321 German as well. They never can get the syntax right. German into straight english comes out sounding like yoda Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7259927 Autotranslated Finnish always comes out wrong in almost every way - syntactically, grammatically and contextually. It's because we don't do prepositions and pronouns are always gender neutral (sometimes you can't deduce the gender even from the context). Futhermore, nouns are declined in a complex way. [ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] Finnish language has defeated all computer-based translation systems so far.
