Do any of you have any positive or negative experience(s) with 
Chinese/English translation programs for the Macintosh?  I'm asking 
about something that can translate entire sentences.

I ask because I've been chatting with a charming Chinese lady who seems 
to find me interesting ;-) through some sort of translation program that 
translates entire Email messages both directions.  It seems to do an 
amazingly good job in fact.  We're toying with the idea of her coming 
out here (US) to visit me, so it may be helpful to have such a 
whole-sentence translation program available at a moment's notice.

So, any suggestions?  Thanks for the ideas!
