On Nov 15, Google Blog said:
Today we’re putting Neural Machine Translation into action with a
total of eight language pairs to and from English and French, German,
Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Turkish. These
represent the native languages of around one-third of the world's
population, covering more than 35% of all Google Translate queries!

Perhaps it just doesn'r like poetic style writing.  :)

I tried translating a business article into Portuguese, then selected
the text and translated it back into English. It seemed to do a good
translation. Try translating a news article.
