Why do computers have so much difficulty translating Japanese into Western languages?

So many paragraphs turn into weird obscure poems.

Japanese is full of ellipsis, you can reduce an entire phrase to just a verb and leave all the rest implied, whereas English and other Western languages are over-descriptive, meaning you have to state subject, object and verb every time. This means that when a machine translator translates from Japanese to English, it has to fill in the gaps that were intentionally left, and most times it can guess the missing parts right when for a human translator it would intuitive.
