Good translation site

I think this is better than Google....Try it out. I know translators aren't very accurate, but this one might be accurate. Give your opinion

Thanks, Interesting. I tried translating 'the cat sat on the mat' into Latin, and I got 'The feles sat on mat' which is 100% wrong. :D

Then I tried The kipper is strapped to the lamppost, giving El arenque es atado a la farola in Spanish.

Then If you hadn't told me a lie yesterday, I would not have had to go to the bank today giving Si usted no me había dicho una mentira ayer, no habría tenido que ir al banco hoy in Spanish,

but the same in Latin: si tu hadn't told me mendacium yesterday, ego would non emus had ad badizamus ad ripa hodie :D:D:D 200% wrong.

I quote my lecturer on Natural Language Processing:

I've just tried it with this:

Time flies like an arrow = El tiempo vuela como una flecha
Fruit flies like a banana = Moscas de la fruta como un plátano

That's not bad!
