On the whole, they are not very reliable.  They are great for determining 
the gist of a message, but not for translating web pages.  If you want an 
idea of what I mean - take a couple of simple paragraphs, translate them 
into another language, and then copy and paste to translate it back into 
english.  The results are often amusing :-)
