In one of my forums we've made up a game through these translations. Basically, we get some words (like a song) translate it to Japanese then back to English. It provides some hilarious results. Anyhoo, I didn't even know Windows Live had a translator. I've always used Google Translate all this time... Laughable translations indeed.

WIC also support RAW plug-ins from Adobe, Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax, Olympus... so supporting it would also let you support all those Camera RAW formats with little or no additional effort...

Yeah, those translations are indeed laughable, almost nonsense. But they're better than nothing, of course. I myself have worked as a translator in various projects (including OpenOffice.org to pt-br) and I do know how difficult it is to find a good translation for certain strings sometimes, even for us humans. Thus, these automated translation tools have a long way ahead, until they became really useful. BTW, to you have any plans (even for a distant future) to have real translations of PDN Help in other languages? “Machine Translation (MT) gets a bad rep because it usually provides laughable, hardly usable translations.”
