I can only second this. I was asked if I want to do business in German or English and clicked on German. The automated translation was so bad it was out of anything I would consider business worthy.

If I were to recommend such a thing to my clients they would laugh at me. And with every right to do so.

It might be a cool product. I didn't pass the language hurdle to evaluate, though.

Instant bounce for me.

Edit: Typo

Yes, I agree with you. I put a notice to inform which languages have been translated by machine. Human translation is a time-consuming task and is being done over time. Also, Our community is helping us with some language translation.

+Text on the home page has a context, so its machine translation is horrible :-/ The translation problem will be fixed in the next few weeks.

Yes, it's all about brand trust at this stage so best to just get hold of a native English speaker.

I would second this – looks interesting, but the copy is a bit clunky and unclear.
