Questions & Answers
How accurate is Alta Vista's Babel Fish web application?
Please see:

--> Is it acceptable in general? <--
It depends on the language pair. Let's do a simple experiment.
Your question, "How accurate is Alta Vista's Babel Fish web application?", when translated into the following languages and then back into English, yields:
French: "How much specifies is the application of fish sequence of Babel of Alta Vista?"
German: "Is application of fishnets Babel Alta Vista as exact?"
Russian: "How is accurate the application of a rod of fishes babel Alta Vista?"
Japanese: "Is application of the net how Babelfish of accuracy Alta Vista?"
...so the short answer is, it's not very accurate. None of the round-trip translations recognized "Babel Fish" as a proper noun, and the French version didn't even preserve the notion of accuracy or exactness.
I am a professional Japanese-English translator, by the way, and I see no reason to think I'll lose work to a machine anytime soon. Eventually, yes, but not for quite a while yet.
