In general, autotranslators are very bad in doing their job. The results are hilarious most of the times. So you should consider if using such a service really adds value to your site.

I personally am not a fan of their translator. The server is often slow (many online translators are). Instead, I prefer http://www.conveythis.com. It doesn't suffer from slow down because it basically combines all online translators into one tool. Also, it tracks translation statistics for your website so you can see which languages your pages are translated the most. All of this is combined into one small button. I really like it a lot.

I couldn't agree more. I saw a few articles that were making no sense at all and I realized they were automatically translated. A poor job :)
