You heard it right. On-Line translators are almost useless if not completely so. Just try copying a passage from a Japanese website and put it through one and see if the result in English makes much sense to you.

Only very short and grammatically correct sentences using absolutely no colloquial or slang expressions will be translated pretty well....if you're lucky. Forget about J-rock lyrics or e-mail letters from Japanese friends.
