I've been using Google Translate as an aide in translating the
Processing manual from French to English. It works at the phrase or
sentence level, rather than word by word, which is very good. But
sometimes it gets completely confused and needs human help.

I haven't tried to have it translate a whole chapter at a time.
Rather, I've used it for bits and pieces as I go.
