I don't see auto translation being anything else but terrible, for many many years still. Possibly forever. I just don't see a machine being able to handle the culture, tradition or customs that are so ingrained in language.
English to danish translations are universally awful. Barely comprehensible gibberish(¤). So I use English operating systems with locale set to en_DK, so dates display as D-M-Y like God intended, but a surprisingly large amount of software somehow thinks it knows better, and displays its UI in danish anyway, so I get to have a brain aneurysm while trying to parse their danish translation for "anisotropic filtering".
(¤) Pre-emptive snarky comment: "Exactly like spoken danish, LOL".
