I've used translation software. I live in a country that has
three official languages, one of which is not supported by any
translation software that I have found. Of the languages that are
supported, the translation is -- at best -- a joke.
It might give you kinda-semi-sorta an idea of what the other
person was trying to say. However, if you try to use it to translate
something that you have written, it doesn't come anywhere remotely
close to producing something that you would ever want anyone to see.
Trust me. I only ever used it once or twice, and then I got
laughed out of the building.
