Translating from one language to another is a hard problem. Computers can do it after a fashion, but the typical results are usually not much better than what you see in the article above.

It is a web site for machine translation of foreign languages.

You can try it on several news sites here.

We buy bootleg DVD movies from the Iraqis. (It's the only way we can see U.S. current running movies).

When we play those, we put the captioning ON, because the translations are absolutely hilarious. You hear what the actors are saying and then you see the captioning at the bottom and even the most somber and serious movie can elicit laughter.

Very much like Babelfish.
