If your acquaintance actually needs an accurate translation into Russian, I 
wonder why he would choose Google Translate for that. Remember that Russian has 
7 cases, and a complex verbal system with many different forms, all of which 
need to be deduced by Google from the much poorer English prepositions and the 
verbal foms in the text. Even though the result will no doubt show cyrillic 
words, which looks interesting, the factual result will be rubbish, and most 
likely unintelligible to any Russian.

Regards,

Robert
