works for me!
"In the ninth round of the federal league the OSC bathing bathing confirmed its exception position: The crew won 7:1 approximately cotton wool-separates and leads after the defeat of Muelheim bind-laughs approximately on now with five points the table. The thing at the point is so clear, so excitingly is the descent fight. Here Hamburg SK an important victory succeeded to that against Remagen. Support of the crew was once more Karsten Mueller, who won a portion worth seeing against the French GM Jean Marc Degraeve. The citizens of Berlin crews from Zehlendorf and cross mountain, which were now both on a descent place, did not have so much luck. Particularly much pitch had on this weekend of the SK Zehlendorf, which would have come almost too much money. Why that did not happen and which has to do all this with Nicole Kidman, Dagobert Kohlmeyer in its report from Berlin betrays."
I can assure you it doesn't work any better the other way round.
(I love how they translated some of the place names, especially "Wattenscheid" as "cotton wool-separates". 😀)

Use google translate. I uses translation memories and phrase recognition so its not a word for word translate. It's probably 98% where bablefish is around 75% (my estimation only).
Yes, definitely better - although far from 98%, I'd say.
