AltaVista Translations
Found a great travel site to Portugal, but it's all in in Portuguese? Try Babel Fish from AltaVista. You paste in a block of text to translate, or enter a url for a translation of an entire site. Languages are limited to English, German, French, Portuguese, and Spanish--and translations are in an amusing broken English.
