"Almost always" is not good enough, and it assumes there aren't any abbreviations, slang terms, or regional spelling differences, which Google cannot translate, yet are present in almost every language. That's not even taking into consideration misspellings and grammar errors, which everyone makes from time to time.

Trust me, if I could allow every user to speak in every language they wanted (keeping in mind things like swears and whatnot), I would. However, this is an "all or nothing" situation, because there are just too many things to take into account.

Were I to say users can speak in any language and use any sentence Google can translate, I'd just be arbitrarily tossing out warnings afterward. You'd have to check everything you type to make sure Google could understand it, then post it here, then I'd have to do the same, and hand out warnings if the translation had changed (Google Translate is fluid and relies on people to correct it), or if the user had simply failed to check his/her post on Google Translate, and so on.
