There's a problem with all case markers. Either they are missing or they don't agree with the subject/object. Other then agreement of cases there is also a problem with gender agreement. Check out this translations:

He was really tired.

وہ واقعی تک گئی تھی

Australia has beaten Pakistan

آسٹریلیا نے پاکستان کو شکست دے چکی

He had to go somewhere

وہ کہیں جانا تھا

Google has a reasonable English-Hindi translation system. Perhaps they should try making using of triangulation between English-Hindi-Urdu if there isn't enough English-Urdu parallel data available. We sent them a proposal for Hindi-to-Urdu machine translation system, about a year and half ago, but it didn't get approved.

Anyway still good to see Urdu in that list. Hoping for a better beta version.

Seems like there's a problem of agreement in my own sentences too:
