Put Him a Good Slap in the Balls

The title of this post reflects Google translate's rather poor attempt at converting a simple French comment on this very image over on my Flickr stream. I'm not sure that the poster really meant to say this!

I'm all for the power of the internet to reach a global audience, but why has nobody invented a simple translation program that actually works? Surely, if a search engine can be designed that can process billions of queries, predict entries and rate webpages according to relevance, someone somewhere should have invented some language software that does the job.
