Oh dear. I just take it as another proof that my job isn't in danger of being replaced by a computer for a while yet. There are some reasonably decent professional systems (i.e. not babelfish etc.) now that make a reasonable hack if fed a decent glossary and they can learn but the output still needs to be proofread by humans because getting the right context translation of words is still mostly hit and miss. Even boring, formulaeic technical manuals are still a struggle, and standard language texts (newspaper articles etc.) are still almost impossible to get right and literature is completely out of reach.
Prague has been on my list for a long time. Shame, really, as it's just a few hours drive from my hometown but I never made it over after the iron curtain came down and then I moved over here. Now it's almost too touristy and overrun by stupid people to be enticing.
