Google now offering English to Chinese (Simplified) translations

"The world various universities lodge the institute guide"

[rjohara]

(That's how a section of one of my pages is translated.)

I believe this is new - it's listed as Beta on the Google Language Tools page [google.com]. I don't know Chinese, but the translations from Chinese into English don't read all that differently from those done from other languages (i.e. funny and awkward, but certainly good enough to tell what an otherwise inaccessible page is about).
