>My daughter came up with quite a good use for machine translation: to get some rough idea on what the text is about - it will replace unknown words with known ones, sufficient to get it. Of course, it helps that she already speaks three languages, so she knows the pitfalls where programming just can't get around the differences between the ordering of words in a sentence etc, so she does some post-processing in her head.

Of course. Kids are so smart today they are not worried about petty nonsense anymore. They grew up listening politicians prom time to time and they are good at getting a balance of demi-truth / decoration. My older daughter speaks also three languages natively and understands a few more. We should retire before looking plainly dumb, Dragan...

As long as they don't cover Military Intelligence, we won't have oxymoron insurance to care about.
