The URL is:


http://babelfish.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/translate?


This has English to/from French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian.


Be careful on this or you will get gibberish.  What I do when I go from English
to another language is to do the translation, and the translate it back into
English and see what it looks like.  I then play with the English words till it
comes back to me looking like what I wrote.  Be careful of words with more
than one meaning and proper names and name places.  You can imagine
the translation of Mr. (or city) Springfield.  I often use XXX and then fill in the
name after I'm happy with the translation  Malcolm
