Sure it's funny, but it could be useful. If we take a list of all found equilibrium expressions and have a human translator eliminate the ones that have different meanings in the source and destination languages, we'll have a list of phrases that can be transmitted safely through google translate. A phrasebook like that would be worth a lot, to me at least. Two applications where a phrasebook might be good enough are tourism and freelance web development. edit: Here's a great example "The problem is Internet Explorer 6 support." (assuming that means something vaguely similar in the Japanese version, of course)
