Try feeding in a few sentences into the many software packages available on the internet, go back and forth into the languages and witness the resulting chaos. By and large, we don’t recommend machine translation. However, some known and well rated computer translation programs may be used at best to get a gist of the document, or to get at rapid basic translation when volumes are large. However, one must note that even with the most powerful translation programs, many of the specialized terms are not translated, the word order is often wrong, and the language is at best deviating from original and sometimes even comic. Only when it appropriately matches your need, should you go for machine translation and that too with editing by a human translator in the subsequent step.
