Hi:

I have discovered a remarkable site for the translation of many languages 
(unfortunately not including Hebrew). The URL is: babelfish.altavista.com

It automatically converts from and to English, two versions of Chinese; from 
and to English: Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, 
Portuguese, Russian, Spanish. If this were not enough, it also translates from 
Spanish to French.

To try it out, I copy and pasted the Internet life story of Herzl (in English) 
and pasted it into the area for the text to be translated. I chose to translate 
it into German, having studied German in high school in the distant past. It 
took just two seconds to translate the whole story but I was not able to judge 
just how good the translation was. If anyone is qualified and interested in 
doing such a test, I would love to hear the results. 

Henry
