Mozilla releases a machine-translation plugin

This is because "fruit flies like a banana" is unidiomatic even in English. You would say "fruit flies like bananas" except in this context of tripping someone up.

That said, both the mozilla and the google translators translate "fruit flies like bananas" as "moscerini della frutta come banane". (fruit flies such as bananas). Google translates "gorillas like bananas" correctly though (ai gorilla piacciono le banane). Odd.

My point is, google and, as far as I have seen, the mozilla translator handle individual sentences just fine, so it would be fantastic to use them for i18n where possible. Where there are errors, native readers can figure it out, and not go through life thinking that all kinds of fruit travel through the air in the manner of a banana.
