Godwin's Law states that as an argument gets longer, the probability of a reference to "Hitler" or any of some such atrocities "raises to 1". Once it is mentioned, the person who said it automatically loses the argument.

But the missing key component is that there has to be an argument first, which there is no evidence of in this case.

The approach is terrible. When you use statistical translation, it is exponentially harder to translate languages that do not have similar language structure. In cases like Korean or Japanese, where the position of the subject, object are flexible (especially in Korean), statistical translation cannot even achieve basic translation (it adds one more layer of exponential complexity). Another issue is the complete breakdown of statistical system when translating a newly abstract expressins.
