    I tried it just now and it's pretty cool. I just wish they had Thai.

    LOL that's not proper Spanish on the 1st and 3rd example. 1st one should be " puede usted llevar me" and the 3rd is really bad it should be "me puede dar un café grande"

    Its nice that they bring it to the iPhone users as well but as someone already mentioned here, the translations they offer contain many times mistakes!

    As Nate has mentioned already, these translations are of poor quality. As a professional translator, I can say that these machine translations are very poor. However, with certain systems that are trained, common phrases etc are programmed into translation memory... a CAT (computer-aided translation) system works better. I'd like to see something like Trados or SDLX technology on the iPhone.
