Werner brings up a good point... the translation software, although
seemingly useful, is REALLY useless when it comes to technical documentation.
When I was working at DEC and readying processes to move to Chihuahua Mex
my manager took it upon herself to buy one of these packages and "translate"
our inspection procedures to Spanish with them.

These documents were REALLY useless, though a great source of amusement
by our counterparts in Chihuahua, and were met with great laughter!

As Werner states, they're risky in conversational translation, and a disaster
in technical.

Happy New Years, all!
John
