Babelfish translation on www.Inkscape.org

Hi Inkscape translators !
I have just tried to use the babelfish translation on our homepage. Did you try it too? It is located on the bottom of the page.
translate to [ Chinese French German Italian Japanese Korean Portuguese Spanish ]
When i use the German button, the translation is terrible, to be polite. It produces nonsens and bullshit with no sense at all. It is useless. A relict from old times,when inkscape had no translation of the homepage. Currently we have german, french, italic and spanisch translation which is maintained. It could be improoved. Maybe.
I think the best solution is to disable babelfish completly. How do you think about that? Please try that link in your language and give your feedback in this mailinglist.

Right. I now have removed German from this list. The code is in inkscape_web/includes/functions.php FWIW. If other languages want to have that done too and can't do it themselves, speak up.
Cheers, Colin
