The main reason he told it out was due to performance. But then he also believes that machine translators simply cannot replace human ones. He said in his post “Human Translators Superior to Automatic Blog Translations”: “Getting humans to translate your blog posts in multiple languages is a professional job, a continuous one on a daily basis and cannot be expected to be free.” His post also mentions that some other blogs are already hiring human translators to translate their blog contents.
