What are Machine Translations?

These are translations carried out by computers. Machine translations (at this point in time) are not perfect. However these FREE machine translations are useful for basic emails, web pages and correspondence. Since computers still do not have the language capabilities & abilities of humans, these machine generated translations should only be used for non-critical translations to get the overall meaning of a document.
