I haven't been following up on machine translation the last few years, but just judging by Google Translate it is still very poor. As long as that's the case true AI is still very far off.
Context and connotation are just so bloody complex, and sarcasm, by golly. I'm just thinking of a guy with an "intelligent" robot in the house, who sarcastically says: "Shoot me now please." He might be in for a nasty surprise.
