Just so long as you don't expect the Spanish ones to make sense to an English reader and vice versa Nathan.

Have you looked at translated output? Google does a better job than many - but it is a rare day indeed when the translated version makes much sense. Probably romance language to romance language (French to Spanish for example) may be better than French to English - but it is generally pretty ugly. If you use a commercial tool they normally take context into account (medical, computer, legal, etc.) the on-line ones don't have that luxury.

This is very timely, David. I have an application on the plate that calls for translating browser-based email messages from English to Spanish. Thanks for the tip.
