John, outstanding work. Word-for-word is IMO more interesting too, because you understand enough to get the point across - but you still get the flavour of the language and enjoy the idioms. Huge, huge potential. You win the Internet today.

Thanks for the positive feedback (I'm one of the developers). We never imagined we'd win the internets!!! :P

About the word for word thing, that is mostly correct to say it's word-for-word. We have just a few short phrases in there, like "por favor". If that didn't translate correctly, it would have been teh lame.

Oh please, I mean, it's only one of a kind app that millions could make use of :)
