[Pendergast, J. CPT DFL]

For a bit of fun, try running a Russian text through the program and then
take the English translation and run it back through the program into
Russian (or do the whole process starting with an English text).  The
results can be quite amusing...

You are right. Just forget about them, and try a decent human translator.
