What sre you rambling about. I used better translator already in 2001
Depends on the language, English to any big language and back wasn't too bad, but Babel fish was probably the best in 2001 and it was far from perfect. I remember it being a common joke at the time that the translations were a bit rubbish.
I used english to german back then and it was quite passable.
