babelfish has trouble with german. the french translation is good but the german is ordinary.
those cunning germans have some words that translate badly like eg: volkswagen translate to moneypit in english:blush

No it does not, if it is a proper name and first letter is capatilised it should leave it alone. What german dialect are you using to translate?
German is similar to English in that some words have different meanings colloquial etc.
But babelfish is crap...check you words in a German-English dictionary.
Get one, very useful!
