Never use bablefish and the like! These bloody machines don't know languages, but can only translate word for word, and with homonymes they always choose the wrong one.

e.g. (babelfish):
engl.: Oh say can you see in the dawn's early light
germ.:OH- Sagen kann Sie in das dawn's frühe Licht sehen
back to engl.: OH- legends can see you into the dawn's early light
