   Yo leo el blog de J-Walk cada dia, porque es justo y balanceado.
   
   In spanish the translation is almost correct, all the words
   are there, the problem is that you need to put it correctly yourself.

   It's fairly accurate in French, Spanish and English. I don't know about the other languages, but it translates the few Tagalog(filipino) words I know accurately.
   
   Filipino
   maraming salamat po.
   
   French
   merci beaucoup.
   Spanish
   muchas gracias.
   English
   many thanks.

   Dutch is utter nonsense:
   
   lees ik de j-wandeling elke dag bloggen want het is eerlijk en evenwichtig

   Oh... combining "j-walk blog" to "j-walkblog" does surprisingly well:

   It's quite accurate in Dutch indeed, except for more complex grammar (passive tense seems to be difficult). It even handles 'inversions' well.
   
   I regularly go to babelfish for assistance when writing ebay ads in French or German. Nicetranslator has the bonus that, upon seeing the result will be gibberish, you can simplify your 'original' language immediately.
   
   Added it to my favorites.

   Wrong. I'm always dissin the religious. You're probably a Christian, so that's all you notice.

    Hi!
    
    I am actually one of the developers of Nice Translator so I just wanted to drop by and say thanks for taking some time to discuss our project.
    
    As a small sign of our appreciation, I've posted a link back to your site at Nice Translator - Thank You
    
    Thanks again, I hope Nice Translator can be of some value to you all.
    
    All the best,
    Nicky Hajal

    Gee, that was a nice thank you note. I'm bookmarking Nice Translator--especially knowing the Dutch is pretty good--but I'll probably just use it to make sense of Another Larry.

    "leio a J-Walk Blog todos os dias porque ele é justo e equilibrado"
    
    "It works very well in Portuguese." is translated to "It DOES NOT work very well in Portuguese." ("Não funciona muito bem em Português.") in Portuguese, I think it is a in-joke...

    Machine translation is cute, but it's really worthless for anything but a hobbyist. I'm a Japanese-English translator, and that Japanese is complete gibberish.
