Well statistically google translator is the best translator on the web supposedly, but also i have found it to be good myself...but that was two years ago when i was taking a language...they use SYSTRAN but i don't really remember how that works except some complex algorithm and how they beat out every other participating machine in the study, that was two or three years ago though...
