.... I laughed my ass off when I read what this babelfish babbled. It seems it will take quite some years before these translation programs can deal with the complicated German grammar, and translating words without hardly a consideration of context doesn't make things better.
There are other translators as freetranslation.com or sharelook translator, but they yield similar results.
Have a look what sharelook made of a modern version of an old fairy tale:
It was once, in a far country, as a young, independent, self-assured princess at an ecologically clean pond sat and ecological questions considered, as this frog suddenly into its lap branched and said: "elegant princess, I was once a beautiful prince, until me this old witch into a frog transformed Only one kiss of you me however again into this pretty young princes will reconvert. Then, we can marry my dearest one and with my nut/mother in yours Pull palace and can you my meal cook, my dresses wash, my children bear and me for it will be grateful always" in the same night, when the princess at an easily sauterierten, at Wesswein inserted frog thigh with Zwiebelcreme zwiebelcreme-Sauce dinierte, kicherte it to itself and thought: "do not believe I!"
Pain free and hilarious days to everyone,
