(which, once back-translated to English would mean - don't laugh ! -
"The second life of translation software") instead of "Logiciel de
traduction pour SecondLife" which would be the right translation.

Automatic translators are utterly useless and totally unable to translate
properly from simple languages such as English into more complex and subtle
languages such as French, German, Chinese, Japanese...

My advice is therefore: don't bother. Most people will mute you rather
than enduring the clueless translators.
