I'm not sure I understand where you're drifting.
Idiomatic translations can be helped with tools, but as we see with MT, even
the best tools still fail to produce correct idiomatic translations.
Which is the reason why I wrote "that is exactly what the translator is here
for", meaning that the translator is here to ensure that the translation is
idiomatic.
The tool can help the translator to produce a string that the translator will
validate as idiomatic.
