Mm no ker je šla diskusija precej v smer google / bing kdo ima boljše prevode ne pa v smer originalnega posta, prilagam lastni research o machine translation toolsih z datumom maj 2012. Se oproščam ker je v ang.
Mogoče je zanimiv za koga, ker se mi zdi, da nas kar veliko uporablja MT sisteme za takšne ali drugačne namene.
We need to stop using google auto-translate for document translation (its some legal policies problem + I dont want google to have acess to this info + the quality of google translations is not very good for minor languages). This post is a bit more in detail since MT is actually a very hot field with a lot of potential, plus i have been working on this like 15 years ago together with TM (translation memory) so am a bit more familiar with these.

OTHER (these are TM systesm - translation memory systems, that are usable for us later, but for own purpose, they will not translate content on auto, but they can be used to store content in proper manner - eg in our translation engine).
