woher kommt er - where is he coming from?
Pradeep is right.
For 'woher kommt sie' to be translated as 'where are you coming from?' it would have to be: 'woher kommen Sie?'
If you are talking about someone coming from a country, however, like: 'I come from Canada' you would use a statement like: 'ich komme aus Kanada' or 'ich stamme aus/von Kanada'. 'Woher' is a more general term. You would usually use it if you were talking about someone coming from a certain direction, from the store, from the house, etc. | | |

sometimes it's a bit inaccurate though

That is particulary good for translating a few words, but as you said, can be considerably inaccurate, especially in French...
ie: 'The red shirt' becomes 'La chemise rouge', but as you can see, the color and the subject-ish are inverted, hence, with google, or altavista, when you translate, it would just do it to every word, and the red shirt would then be 'Le/la rouge chemise', which is wrong. Hope that cleared things up a bit. | | |
