As a bit of fun, we put the following French passage into the 3 best free translators we could find. The results, which you can see below, were not bad! Not sure how they would manage with technical documents though ...
Il y avait une fois des jumeaux qui s'appelaient Gaston et Georges. Les deux garçons aimaient à jouer près de la forêt où demeuraient beaucoup de bohémiens.
Les parents des jumeaux leur disaient de ne pas aller trop loin de la maison, car les garçons n'avaient que neuf ans. Cependant, un jour un jeune bohémien s'approcha de la maison où demeuraient les jumeaux, Gaston et Georges Mousse.
