Your logic is flawed:

1. "online translators" == "PHP-based translators"

There's more to the Web than PHP.

2. "human-level translation" == everything that's not "word-for-word
translation"

I think it's safe to assume that there are many different approaches, and
"word-for-word translation" is probably the most flawed. This is why you
are wrong to suggest that most online translators use this approach.

Based on your assumption, I bet you were curious to know why sites like
Google only offered translation to/from only a few languages. :-)
