Google translate has come a long way since the early days, when it was totally laughable.
In case you didn't know it, it's maintained by the users. And boy, have we managed to help it become surprisingly good.
It is used all around us, not only on the site itself (translate.google.com) but almost everywhere -- at least if you are using Google Chrome as web browser.
When you are reading e.g. an article on an English news site, you can right click and select "translate to (insert your language here)" and you get an almost perfect translation. At least I get one into Swedish (even though I prefer to read it in English).
YMMV, maybe your countrymen haven't been so busy helping to correct the mistakes?
I use the Opera browser and there is a plugin which will assist with translations. One of my favorite musicians is French so a lot of French and other European language articles pop up so Google Translate has made it much easier to read those articles.
