They look pretty darn good to me.
I just tried my native language (Traditional Chinese) with your sampled Japanese page from CommunityBuzz! Forum.
The "output" looked aweful. Rarely the translation makes sense. Put aside the logic/grammar errors, most of the outcome fail to represent the thread titles accurately.
Can you imagine it even translates FT handles? How can
baobab become "猴麵包" (i.e. Monkey bread)?
All I can say is they look pretty darn horrible to me.
ps. They probably should get a new Chinese translator.
