Okay, you found the exact site you need, but its in German, French or other
European tongue.
No problemo use Alta Vistas
Babel to translate it for you.
Babel isnt perfect, but the result is quite readable.
You just enter the url address of the site you want translated and
Presto!
Up pops the same site, now in your preferred language.
You can also type or paste some text right into Babel for a quick translation
(great for those undecipherable newsgroup postings and old German technical
manuals, or for sending email to that cute French girl you met at the
airport).
Babel is at:
