It's better to use a separate domain for each language and the on line translators are terrible. We have been doing multilingual sites since 1997 and have experimented with one domain etc. The only way to really get a rating for each language is by using a separate domain and we believe a separate IP as well. We currently serve over 500 clients with bi or multilingual pages and all are well rated and whats more important they do the job for the clients. Each site is designed with the visitors in mind. Example: www.andes.net is in spanish and ww.andesholidays.com is in english. Basically the same material but different format. We have some sites that are in spanish, german and english and others with italian and french. See www.posada-alemania.com for a trilingual setup.
