For instance, something seen as cool and even stylish in the home country of the company might actually be perceived as rude or vulgar in another country.

GT is a pure statistical approach because F.Och is alergic to anything but statistics. You have done a short test on a general engine that has been designed for general understanding (Mission: "To organize the information of the word"). SMT is the core of an automated translation system, but a lot ofthe quality depends on the systems built around it, modules, pre- and post-processing. Controlling the input actually has little impact on the outcome, unless you are developing very customized systems and thus want the system to "think" and "expect". It helps, but it is not a goal in itself. The system should be mature enough to deal with some uncontrolled or unexpected areas and still perform. I see from your tests that GT gists well and it is free :) Data alone is not sufficient. GT is a pure statistical approach because F.Och is alergic to anything but statistics.
