Similar timeframe, I used it for translating some German into English. I'm a native English speaker who has spent some time in Germany (but had not spoken any German in over a decade at this point) and quickly noticed some things were off. After reviewing the original text I realized that every single separable verb[1] that was not in infinitive form was mistranslated. This is an astoundingly bad systematic error for a machine translation program to have.
