Google Translate
I happened to use Google Translate recently and realized they have changed its face since my last visit. If you don't know about this service visit the link. When you visit a website in a language you can't read just visit this site and put the link in the form.
If you have Google Toolbar installed it can have a button or right click link to automatically open the translated page.
I don't use it often, but each time I am reminded how limited I am knowing only one language well. I am grateful for my family's effort to have tried to teach me French as a child and for my father's teaching me to understand etimology listings in Webster's Dictionary for each definition. We red necks don't consider how much of our American 'English' is based on other languages.
