Wikipedia has an article on it.

"In fact, the statement is grammatically correct and cannot be misunderstood in that context. The urban legend is not widely known in Germany, where Kennedy's speech is considered a landmark in the country's postwar history. The indefinite article is omitted generally when speaking of an individual's profession or residence (ex: "Er ist Soldat" for "He is a soldier") but including it is merely redundant, not ambiguous."

Oh...and never trust freetranslation.com beause it just translates the words...not the sentences so that they actually make sense...you have to know the word order in order to actually make sense when speaking/writing German. Mine and Roran's German teachers teaches us that...so never trust freetranslation.com. Plus, they have words on there that don't even make sense. If you want to be perfect with German...ask me or ask someone that knows German as well as my teacher does. Honors German Two...represent!!! lol

Alternatively you can ask me about German, since I speak that language for almost 21 years meanwhile. ^^

And I agree with mistysilverwolf on freetranslation.com. It might be okay if you have only one word you want to have translated, but I'd not suggest to use it for sentences either.

Yes, you can say that's my mother's tongue while most of the English I speak is what I learned during the time I use internet and hang out on certain message boards, messangers etc. ... okay and a few parts from school english. ^_^
