It provides pretty good translations, but it's not particularly good for privacy. Obviously it's better than Google, but their privacy policy isn't great.

My main issue is they want credit card info to get an API key, which is required if you want to use it through (properly integrated) addons or whatever. The translations are pretty much magic though. Really good results most of the time.

The API is also the only way to have it be private as well, as one of the perks is that all your entries get deleted.
