misc practical questions



FLUENCY
-------
On the Lojban website I've read, that fluency in lojban
not yet has been achieved.
* Is this true? Wrt what definition of fluency?
* For those of you that can speak it to some extent:
- How would you describe your ability in speaking lojban?
- How much time did you invest in learning it?
* Do you think that fluency can be achieved as well
as in some natural second language?

MACHINE TRANSLATIONS
--------------------
My interest in lojban stems from its machine readability
and I wonder if it could be used as an auxiliary language
for internationalization of software and manuals.
* Do you think that medium quality machine translations
of technical documents from lojban to natural languages 
can be possible in the near future?
By medium quality I mean translations that are neither
misleading nor annoying to read. Superb style is not
requested.
* Is there already work on the way?
