The Thai government has spent years and loads of money trying to automate translation. They need it because English language skills are severely lacking in the Kingdom. But the results are still quite poor. Commercial tools I have tried are worse. Thai and English.

To date, machine translation has been a complete nuisance for the language pair I work with, befuddling the translators rather than helping them.

We are doing exactly the same thing since 3 years. Except there is only volunteers, no money involved. From my experience with cucumis, the most difficult part, is to proofread the the translations. We have a team of more than 100 volunteers admins there. You could have talked about http://www.cucumis.org/ taht you reviewed on techcrucnh 2 years ago.
