How good are the translations?

The translations vary in quality between languages. For most of the widely spoken languages the translations are at least as good as a semi-fluent foreigner speaking the language at a B2 kind of level. There will be some gramatical errors and sometimes technical or slang words are not translated correctly or in context.

What can I do about translation mistakes?

Google is investing a lot of time and money into their translation service, it is constantly evolving and we expect the translations to improve over time. They are already excellent to be fair. There is a submission feature at translate.google.com where you can submit recommended changes and mistakes for correction by the algorithm. These may or may not be implimented in a timely fashion however as it is dependant on Googles local translation team.
