Spanish...¿Cómo como como? Como como como!!
English equivalent...what do you mean how I eat? I eat the way I eat!
Try this with ANY machine and tell me what you get.
(Thanks to Ed Zaldibar for this one)
That said, I had always said before don't bother starting with machine translation and trying to clean it up, it will just get you going down the wrong track - BUT if you do this inside a good translation memory system (I like freetm.com) AND you've got a document with a lot of standard UN terminology, I've found that it CAN save you time looking up names of UN departments, etc. now that all UN translations are in google translate. But then, my poor editor has had to do a lot more clean up for me than normal when I use that crutch so .... I guess I'm still torn.
