Google Products - Google Translate

谷歌有一個整潔的應用程序中調用谷歌翻譯。你可以粘貼文本在翻譯領域，選擇你的語言翻譯的，然後選擇所需的語言轉換成文字。為了好玩，我把這個段落的翻譯，選擇中文作為傳統的語言我希望它翻譯和谷歌給我的上述文字。

Translated:

Google has a neat application called Google Translate. You can paste text in the translation field, select the language you are translating from, and then select the language you want to convert the text into. For fun, I put this paragraph in the translator, selected traditional Chinese as the language I wanted it to translate to and Google gave me the above Chinese characters.

This would be very handy for customers wanting to translate documents or web pages into her home language. I'm thinking the guy looking for Chinese or Hindi characters for his next tattoo would love this, as well.

However, I wonder about the accuracy. The translation might be word-for-word, but without knowing how a culture articulates and the nuances of the culture there is something lost in the translation. For instance I used Google Translate to read a news story from the Persian newspaper, Kayhan. This is how Google translated it:

Islamic leader in meeting the country's passionate explanation of nurses replied Hazrat Zeinab (SA) if no blood on the sword was not victorious

Leader emphasized that the Iranian nation against the threats and telling big enemy will not surrender stipulated that this nation shall Thdydknndgan also brought to the knee. Ayatollah Khamenei meeting yesterday at a large gathering of nurses across the country, with the celebration of the role of nurses in mental and physical health of patients, Hazrat Zeinab PBUH the pattern of human history and pattern of different levels of the Iranian nation in the Islamic revolution and knew emphasized: the main cause of power and inspire the Iranian nation, he is the essence of Imani and the nation, thanks to God in all areas before and will be increasing their faith and insight on the tricks and threats will be overcome.

Mousing over the translation activated a popup that invited the reader to contribute a better translation of the article. As a universal translator I'm thinking Google Translate still needs a little tweaking.
