Really?

I tried your arcsite.de URL and found the result decidedly
difficult to understand.

Marginally better than nothing at all, I suppose, if I
really needed to read a page in a language I knew absolutely
nothing of.

But for something in any Western European language, I would
spend some time with the original before resorting to Google
translate. And quite possibly get google to translate into
at least one, if not two other langauges and compare the
results, before relying on anything.
