That is why language translation services are crucial to this process. It can be difficult to be sure, especially if you aren’t a native or haven’t spent large amounts of time there.

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.

Well Google has enough data, but they still have their limitations. Data alone is not sufficient. You need metadata about the context. @Andrew Bredenkamp: For the last 10 years or so, researchers have been telling us that SMT represented a revolution in machine translation; that there would be no more linguistics, no more rules, just data. “Give me enough data,” went their motto, “and we can work miracles!’.
