No, and I doubt there will ever be one, if by "seriously good" you mean one that produces translations comparable to those of a human translator. Language is just too messy.

You should try Lingo Gator. It is a language translation aggregator that returns the results of the translation from three different translation services and then reverse translates back into the original language so that you can see what you text was translated into.
