Google Translate, still needs work

Google Translate is an app I downloaded on my phone and it's pretty amazing. Type in a word in one of a couple dozen language options, and it'll give you the translation in another. If you use the speaker function and are traslating from English into another language, you can speak in English and it'll spit out the word in one of a few other languages. However, I tried going from speaking French to get the English translation, and it didn't work so well. It just couldn't figure out what I was saying in French consistently.
