Bondi,
I would wonder how good the translation of english to Italian is. I gave
it a simple test to translate "Good evening" into Italian. It came back
with "Buoa sera" which I know is wrong. So then I asked to translate it
back to English its response was "Buoa evening". So much for its
translating ability
