There's a new kid on the block, though, and it's called DeepL. I've tested it a tiny little bit, and so far, it has been really, really good - and perfectly comprehensible up until now, even if the English I've translated the German to is not always perfect.
So in case you need something translated from or into the languages German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Polish, give it a try. It's definitely a large step up from what you'd get on Babelfish and other machine translators.
