Erm... Lets see... Do you realize that an awful lot of the voclaoid fandom (and its at least 1,000,000 "fans"), still can't name all of the vocaloids and an awfullot of them don't know vocaloid is more then CFM vocaloids?

If you think this is pointless, just consider hownaive, particularly the OS fandom is and how much the average fan doesn't know about what their a fan of and ask yourself; can the fandom REALLY decide.

Also, while basic sentences are alright... Machine translators suck at long-term usage. Many a time it throws out something that a experienced translator can't resolve. Also, 3-4 years is not long enough. Dame here is native Japanese... I'd like to think Dame at least knows what he is talking about on this page so why the issue? Are you one of the ones thats not on this list and are, therefore, insulted but your lack of acknowledgement as a "good" translator? I've got about 200-300 hour of lesson in, not enough to translate, but I've learned that machine translators are shit. The number of times they've got even basics I know wrong is laughable.

If your a translator, instead of wasting time bickering here, go improve yourself, if your not, whats the fuss seriously? Don't you want to know who to trust the most? :-/
