Google translator messes up

Even the mighty Google machine gets it wrong sometimes, despite the amount of cash they have to spend on their various projects like the very handy Google Translator. But when you type in your piece of text how do you know that what is returned is correct?

The example given is a dedication at the sad loss of Heath Ledger, someone writes “I will miss Heath Ledger” and the Google machine returns in Spanish “Voy a perder Tom Cruise” as it is a famous name, it is the only indication that things are wrong.

Apparently the error only shows up with Heath Ledgers name!
