Obviously, I would fail the French Turino Test

Turino Test: a test of machine (or human) translation, where a native speaker has a text-only conversation a person who is either a native speaker, or with a person who has no knowledge of the language, but has a translator. If the native speaker cannot tell that the conversation is being translated, the translator passes the Turino Test.

This seems just as hard as the Turing Test. Probably harder.
