There isn't any.

Mechanical translation is fine if you just want to get the gist of 
something, but they can never transmit the nuances of a language. If you 
need a website in Spanish, employ a native Spanish translator. Similarly 
with customer queries; automatic translation is fine for you to get an idea 
of the query, but you won't be able to reply with anything approaching 
fluency; you'll need someone who is fluent.

HTH,
