Just to confirm, yesterday I needed to translate a piece from Bulgariam
Wikipedia article into Russian. I ended up with the manual translation
even though I do no speak a word of Bulgarian (Russian is my
mothertongue). The output of Google Language Tools (Bulgarian into
English) was on substandard level.
Cheers
