Translations: German to English sucks

Thanks for all the response that is already coming in on my request for an evaluation of the Google translation tool I posted here this morning. As expected, people think very differently about the performance up to now. After the weekend, I will give a decent overview, since some of the feedback is also coming in on email.
Most of the feedback is on the European languages, and I do hope to get some on Japanese and Korean too. Do forward my request to others, if you think they might be able to help.
Meanwhile, I could not resist the temptation and have tried to translate a chapter of my book in German into English. Here is the English translation and here the German original, so you might be able to compare yourself.
As you might see for yourself: the English sucks. There is really too much guesswork needed.
