We have a website that has rapidly changing content.

It would be very difficult and expensive to translate it all into different languages so we've considered machine translation as we see no other feasible option.

Are there other options for this scenario?  If so please share them.

If not what machine translation services are tops?  We've used google translator before on a website see here (www.helltruth.com), but have been told that it doesn't do that great a job.  The good thing about it though is that its free.

We'd like to offer translated material here (www.amazingfacts.org) but are not sure what the best approach would be.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The thing I have found with translation is that there is no better translation than a human translation as many of the tools that do automatic translations can have VERY bad inaccuracies when translating.

I have worked with clients that have used contractors on http://www.rentacoder.com with good success
