Bing translator
Color me impressed. Someone posted this on Facebook:
Me guasta , es una persona muy agradable.
I clicked on the 'translate' link to see what 'agradable' means, not expecting 'guasta' to translate, because I knew he meant 'gusta'. Amazingly, Bing translated the comment as:
I like, it is a very nice person.
I wonder if they use a technology like auto-correct to guess what people really mean when they misspell words. Either way, I think I'll try Bing instead of Google Translate for a while, and see how that goes.

Re: Bing translator
Lol. I just had to post this one. I saw this comment on FB that said:
pouvez-vous nous aider à mettre à la porte notre pseudo président??? s'il vous plait, s'il vous plait, s'il vous plait, s'il vous plait, s'il vous plait, s'il vous plait, s'il vous plait, s'il vous plait!!!
Clicking on the Bing translation link, it said this:
can you help us to put our president Nick at the door? is it you please, is it you please is it you please, is it you please is it you please is it you please is it you please is it you please!
Who the heck is Nick, and how the heck did Bing get "is it you please" out of "s'il vous plait"? I think Google gets it a bit closer, but somehow I don't think they meant to call Obama our "pseudo" president.
can you help us get to the door our pseudo president?? Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please!
Ok, now I think I see where Bing got "Nick," sort of. Google gives an alternate translation of "pseudo" as "nickname," but I still don't know what they meant by that.
