Hello,

As french native speaker, I would say that it is understandable. Of 
course, it is far from perfect but one can understand...and laugh a 
little bit with funny translations errors...
 I tried to do a translation on a more technical thread, and the 
translations is more delicate, but still understandable.

 From my point of view, the major problems with automatic translations, 
is that you need an extra effort to understand what you are reading. You 
continuously need to do a second translation for yourself.  So  it made 
it difficult  to read a lot  of message. For english  native  speaker, 
it's like if someone, who speaks really bad english, tries to explain 
you something...you need a lot of concentration!
