> I have used automatic translation tools to translate documentation and comments in source code
No one has personally hired professional translators to do this, ever. Before automatic translation happened, there were volunteers. Only corporations had the resources to professionally translate documentation.
And if you are a corporation, you cannot rely on automatic translation for these tasks anyway.
Anyway, your examples illustrate situations where we went from no translation or crappy translation, to reasonably useful. That's just not what translators and interpreters do.
