i wonder if you could repeat with different languages and take some kind of semantic median? interesting problem.

[just to clarify, given the replies - i am talking about repeating in parallel, not in series. the idea being that errors might cancel out, rather than accumulate]

I think all conversations should be run back and forth through Google Translate until they reach equilibrium (a la Translation Party). For added awesomeness, do a multi-way equilibrium instead of just two languages.

Your post in Translation Party:

  I (translation of a la carte party) have achieved a balance
  between the universal and Google, and I need to translate
  the conversation. Not only, Blip.fm, from how to move from
  the language of two additional multi balance.
I think two languages is bad enough.

Tangential, but Translation Party doesn't work for me in the newest (stable) Firefox and Chrome.
