Hi NF, I once experimented briefly with another (not Google) free translator; a friend was studying in Russia and posting large chunks of her (friends-only, not private) journal in Russian. The problem, of course, was that it translated only into broken English and (I'm pretty sure) equally broken Russian. if I tried going back and forth a few times, the result became more and more degraded.
Here's your post after one round trip to Russian with the free translator:

So depending on your choice of translator and language, what you write may or may not be recognizable when decoded.
I guess there's also a risk that someone who found your journal might figure out the language and get their own translation.

I once noticed a bumper sticker on a parked car in what appeared to be Swedish. I jotted it down and showed it to a friend who I knew understood some Danish. She and another friend put their heads together for 5 minutes and came up with a reasonable-sounding translation quite different from what I'd envisioned. It turned out to be an off-color joke.
