Just been comparing language translations from Babel Fish, Sys Tran 
and Google

For a Traditional Chinese text the first two provided an identical 
translation. Google can't handle traditional Chinese.

    Russell just received a letter, indicated the sample damage,
    hoped we as fast as possible again prepared 1pc to send for him,
    bad can to when him received good returned for us.
    When can the new sample be uneven? Please inform. Thanks!

Good enough for me :-)
I understand some of the confusing words due to context.

Systran provide a free 150 word max translation. Babelfish also 150 
words. Both will also translate websites. I suspect the closeness is 
not coincidental.

Systran sell a personal PC based version for $US150 for many European 
languages and several Asian languages or $US99 for either subset. Also 
many other dearer options.
