In a lot of cases, the translations I've done came out fine. Some
knowledge of the language helps. For example, people in Spanish are
addressed formally or informally when saying "you". English does not
have this formal/informal way of saying "you", so a translator may
always translate the "you" to the formal form which isn't really that
awful, and still working good enough to aid in the meaning of the
translation in most cases.

If you can create a better translation software, then do so,
otherwise, you aren't helping.
