Machine translation of blogs

I just found a review of several translation machine translation tools, one of them is a wordpress plugin that creates automatic translations of your blog in 9 languages. It is only 30$ and must be perfect for black hats and other that are addicted are more concerned about money than user experience. Then again there are legimate reasons for using this plugin to increase reach and user experience. It might be helpful for users that can’t read english very well. Will this tool make a great blog look bad? Maybe not, if your blog is written in English then your english blog will still be great and e.g. people entering the Spanish version could always read the original if they prefer to do so. I might actually buy and install the plugin on this blog, just need to think about it for a day or two.
