I haven’t experimented with this particular translator, but the fact that it falsely offers to translate into Old English (= Anglo-Saxon) does not inspire confidence. I have tried an “English to Shakespearean” translator, which produces such an ungrammatical pseudo-archaic mishmash that Shakespeare should press charges for defamation of character.
