Just discovered a really cool tool from Google, Toolbar Translator. It started coming up automatically on my Vista computer so for the heck of it I clicked on it and much to my shock it does a really really good job of translating both from German and Spanish. While not perfect it's light years better than any online translator I've used, better yet it keeps all the original formatting.
Compare this from Babelfish online translator

While not perfect that is pretty impressive. Better yet this section from the Canal Plus homepage adverting a new Spanish TV show
Morena with good cleavage and a teacher and social worker OK that's a really good reason to watch that show
It also translated my German banking homepage all into English, hugely helpful because I couldn't be bothered trying to figure out what half that stuff was! It included loads of important stuff that I need to know but had no real way of figuring it out!!!!
