Hehe. Babelfish's is somewhat mangled. For example, the first paragraph of the
DJGPP FAQ (from Section 1)  translated to Portugese and back into English.

Original:
No, you don't need to read all of the FAQ unless you want to (although this is
by all means recommended). The questions in this document are listed, as much as
possible, in the order they appear when one goes through getting DJGPP,
installing it and using it. To quickly find an answer to your question, first
look at the Table of Contents.

Portugese:
No., você não necessita ler todo o FAQ a menos que você quiser (embora este é
por todos os meios recomendados). As perguntas neste original são alistadas,
tanto quanto como possível, na ordem aparecem quando uma atravessa começar
DJGPP, o instalar e o usar. Para encontrar rapidamente uma resposta a sua
pergunta, primeiro olhar no índice.

Back into English:
No., you does not need to read the FAQ all unless you to want (even so this by
all means is recommended). The questions in this original are signed up, as much
how much as possible, in the order appear when one crosses to start DJGPP,
installing and using. To find a reply quickly its question, first to look at in
the index.

What's the bet the Portugese wasn't much better? :-)

Babelfish is OK for small amounts of text that you just want to get the jist of,
but it's not for full scale translation.
