How Accurate Is a Babel Fish Translation?
Machine translation produces reasonable results in many cases. But you should not rely on it. If you want to send a translated text to another person or use it in correspondence, always explain that you are using an automatic translator named Babel Fish and append or reference the original text. This acknowledgement will put the translation into the right context and will help you avoid embarrassing misunderstandings. When it’s important to have an accurate translation, ask a human translator to polish the Babel Fish translation.
