I have to admit that I have never seen a small website using auto-translated content. I see that more frequently on the content mills that noone wants, on Microsoft documentation (oh the horrors!) and most recently on various shopping websites that want to show you offers from other countries (ebay fails terribly at this). I don't think small website owners are in trouble, the big ones are.

Some of those Wikipedia-republishing SEO spam sites seem to take the English Wikipedia and then auto-translate that into other languages instead of directly mirroring each country's native Wikipedia. At least they're good for a laugh because whatever translation provider they're using still tends towards those hilariously literal translations that no longer happen that frequently with Google.
