While the translation memory people do have a point that not all translation software is bad, the original poster was asking for a software program that will translate entire sentences into a number of "popular" languages. Translation memory software is NOT what the original poster was asking for. As far as I know, there are no programs that will translate entire sentences reliably (i.e. without needing to be reviewed and edited by a native speaker). So why waste the money on such a software program when you're going to need a native speaker to review and possibly spend a large amount of time fixing the document anyway?
