I could write a book about it, but I won't. Yes it's a great tool, but no it cannot translate everything. I don't believe it can detect context. It's great for futbol Americano articles though. :-D - Pablo-Peligroso, Oct 12, 2011

It's reasonably accurate for single words or very simple phrases. Don't expect any machine translator to be able to work with colloquial phrases, idioms, object pronouns or anything that is not absurdly simple. That's my opinion, your mileage my vary.
