You'd have to phrase the question slightly differently.

Historically, the translation service has owned the copyright, and other
intellectual property rights, to the content that is translated, not the
individual/organization that supplied the content to be translated. This
is enforceable by being part of the contract/EULA that one has with the
translation service.
I don't know what the current US case law is. :(
Back in the mid-nineties, there were several court cases where
translation services were granted ownership (including, but not limited
to copyright) of the data generated by machine translation.
I just realized that freetranslate.mobi is based out of the Seychelles.
OTOH, it uses servers in the United States.
> Third, what should we ask them?
Ask them specifically for copies of contracts between them, and any
third parties that they subcontract the translations to. This includes,
but is not limited to services such as Babelfish, Google Translate, and
Bing Translate.
I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.
