It isn't that better. Admittedly I am only learning Spanish, but I get odd or incorrect translations far more often than 1 in 20 and because I am a beginner, I don't throw really difficult cases at it.

This is also text only use so ignoring things like accents (was that a p, v or b?) which can make the whole thing even more difficult.

For other languages, like my native Slovenian, it is even more ridiculous.
